The statue of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk is a significant bronze monument situated on Hradčanské Square in the heart of Prague. This three-meter tall figure weighs approximately 500 kilograms and sits upon a round granite pedestal. It was commissioned and created by academic sculptors Josef Vajce and Jan Bartoš, drawing directly from the original 1931 design by Otakar Španiel that currently resides in the National Museum's Pantheon. Unveiled to mark the 150th anniversary of Masaryk's birth, the ceremony was attended by notable figures including President Václav Havel and Madeleine Albright. The placement near the Salmovský Palace ensures it is a memorable site for anyone visiting the surrounding Hradčany district.
