Description
The metro has been crisscrossing Prague's underground for over half a century. It was built as a showcase of the socialist era: architecturally grand, with a well-thought-out backbone of three lines, equipped with Soviet trains and art meant to last forever. After 1990, the lines expanded, technology modernized, and art in many places gave way to advertising. The original face of some stations is no longer recognizable today.
The book invites readers on a journey underground and into the past through more than a hundred period and contemporary photographs.
The comparison of the old and new forms of the metro shows what has been lost within it – and what still lies dormant beneath the surface.
