Quirky statue of fake Freud

Sightseeing

Message from Katarína Lepšíková

In Prague's Old Town, there's a quirky statue called "Man Hanging Out" that looks like Sigmund Freud dangling from a building. But don't worry, it's just a fake Freud created by sculptor David Černý in 1996. The lifelike figure has fooled many passersby into thinking someone's in trouble, but it's actually a statement on 20th-century intellectualism. This cheeky piece of art has traveled the world and is now back in Prague, hanging over a historic street and making people do a double-take.
