The 'Shop with Art' specialises in original paintings, prints and sculpture from 1900
to 1940, when Czech artists were at the forefront in movements such as Constructiv-

Handmade fiddles decorate
the interior of this old-fashioned violin workshop where Karel and his assistants
beaver away making and repairing these instruments in time-honoured fashion. Even
