Zvuky Prahy / Sounds of Prague

The Letna carousel or merry-go-round originally stood miles away in another part of town, but shortly after its first birthday was moved to its current location. Newly constructed tram links at the time brought people from all over Prague to Letna, in order to have a ride. More than a century later, this extraordinary construction belongs to Prague's Technical Museum, which is battling to save it. It was closed to the public more than 10 years ago and the mechanical street organ was stolen.
