Prague Music & Art

Based on 4 days

Suitable for Secondary Schools

Overview

Prague is the ideal place for an Art & Music trip, thanks to its rich cultural heritage and vast array of museums. Its twisting medieval streets have inspired Smetana, Dvořák, Alfons Mucha, and David Černý, among many more.

Prague’s art galleries are an exciting alternative to those in London, Paris and Rome. Despite bombing in World War II, the Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau and Cubist architecture remain intact, and it’s not uncommon to hear music drifting from the windows as you walk by.

Let us know if you’d like to perform at a local venue with your school choir or orchestra!
