Christmas at Prague AirportThis year, you will not only see Christmas at Prague Airport, but you will also hear it. The airport is presenting its original Christmas carol, “Departures and Dreams,” and inviting passengers into a festive atmosphere inspired by the work of illustrator Josef Lada. Christmas decorations, charity markets, musical performances, and other accompanying programs await you right in the terminals, making your travels during Advent even more enjoyable.Czech Christmas through the eyes of Josef Lada The magic of Czech Christmas comes alive at the airport this year in illustrations by Josef Lada, a painter who captured peace, humor, and humanity in his paintings, and not just of winter landscapes in the Czech Republic. His villages, night watchmen, skaters, and supernatural beings have accompanied entire generations and remind us of a world where time stands still for a moment.Josef Lada (December 17, 1887 – December 14, 1957) was a Czech painter, illustrator, and writer, the author of thousands of illustrations and hundreds of paintings that have become symbols of the Czech landscape and Christmas. His work remains unique in its simplicity and warmth – perhaps that is why Pablo Picasso himself said that "he is the greatest we have."Throughout December, you can see his work at selected locations in terminals throughout the airport, and last but not least, you can visit a room in the connecting building between Terminals 1 and 2, where a small Ladov village has been created with a photo point and a short story about the author. Let yourself be transported to wintertime Hrusice for a moment and discover what Czech Advent looks like through the eyes of Josef Lada.
