The third year of the project

The third year of the project "Lights Tell..." brings a fascinating cosmic experience to the Yellow Baths.

More than a hundred light sculptures and objects made up of four hundred thousand lights will bear the name "Bell's Journey Through Space" this autumn and winter season. The light park "Lights Tell Stories..." is returning for the third time to the Yellow Spa in Prague. It brings an astonishing spectacle inspired by the story of the fairy tale character Bell. This magical guide Bell will take both young and old visitors on an unforgettable journey through the mysteries of the universe. The unique exhibition will be open from November 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025, every day after dark.

„Zvonkova cesta vesmírem“ includes planets, stars, the Sun, spaceships, and astronauts, offering both a breathtaking light show and educational interactive elements. Visitors will get acquainted with the latest scientific discoveries about the universe through modern technologies and animations, presented in an entertaining and playful manner, which especially captivates children into an adventure full of discoveries.

Connecting Christmas with the Universe

The exhibition combines the Christmas atmosphere with cosmic motifs. The Bethlehem star is symbolized here by a comet that guides visitors on a journey through infinite space, and visitors will also encounter a unique cosmic tree of fulfilled wishes. This element connects traditional Christmas symbolism with innovative light installations.

Handcrafted Light Sculptures: Art, Design, and Uniqueness in Every Detail

The light exhibitions „Světla vyprávějí…“ are entirely unique, particularly because their theme and execution respect and complement the place where they are installed. All light sculptures and objects are handcrafted in the Czech family company Decoled, led by owner Eva Poláčková. A team of experienced designers and craftsmen works together to ensure that each piece has its unique character. Creative ideas are carefully developed throughout the year so that they can transform into stunning light installations during the winter months. Each exhibited piece is original and bears the signature of talented craftsmen who breathe life into these works.

Ecological Approach and Interactive Experiences

The entire exhibition is designed with an emphasis on sustainability. LED lights and other lighting elements are energy-efficient, and many decorations are made from recyclable plastics using state-of-the-art large-format 3D printing. Interactive elements allow visitors to playfully discover the mysteries of the universe, and thanks to the environmental approach, the exhibition has a minimal impact on the environment.

Expert Collaboration

„Zvonkova cesta vesmírem“ was created in collaboration with astronomers from the Žebrák Observatory and other expert institutions, ensuring the authenticity and educational value of the exhibition. Visitors can look forward not only to a visual experience but also to engaging information about the universe.

A Unique Place for Festive Gatherings

The light parks „Světla vyprávějí…“ are not just a visual spectacle but primarily a place where people meet and share the magical atmosphere of the holidays. „Our wish is not only to illuminate public spaces but also to bring light and inspiration into people's lives. We want every exhibition to tastefully and sensitively cultivate the surroundings while respecting the traditions and spirit of the place where it is set. This year, our light parks will be in fifteen locations across Europe, and we are delighted that they can bring joy to everyone,“ says Eva Poláčková, owner of Decoled.

We Invite You to a Unique Experience

The light exhibition at the Yellow Spa is an opportunity to spend free time in an unconventional way and explore the depicted beauties of the universe in a peaceful environment right by the Vltava River. The exhibition is open daily from November 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025. „The exhibition offers the possibility of beautiful winter walks along the Vltava River in an area that is otherwise closed during this period. We invite everyone to come enjoy the connection with nature by the winter river, along with a tour of the original installations, and to savor a family evening with a cosmic atmosphere over a glass of mulled wine or hot chocolate,“ invites Jan Dell, director of the Yellow Spa area in Prague's Podolí.

Come immerse yourself in the fascinating world of light and discover how incredibly beautiful the infinite universe around us is!

The phenomenon of new circus: Art that changes the rules

New circus is an artistic phenomenon that has gained immense popularity in recent decades. It transforms traditional circus performances into a complex work of art that combines acrobatics, theater, dance, music, and sometimes even multimedia elements. Unlike the classical circus, you will not find acts with trained animals; instead, it focuses exclusively on human abilities, creativity, and emotions. Performances, which often contain deeper messages in addition to great acrobatics and precise choreography, attract millions of visitors around the world.
