Dark, disturbing and twisted is how I would describe David Lynch's private collection of art, short films and lithographs. I wasn't expecting this based on his films, but you can see where his films get some of their moments from the exhibition.
Taipei's National Palace Museum has lent 100 precious items from its collection to the Czech National museum. Between ancient scrolls and jade carvings, the curators have put together an incredible viewpoint on the Qing dynasty. I've missed this so far, but since the loan runs out at the end of 2025, I'd best hurry!
I'm excited about Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds exhibition; partially because I missed it when it was in Prague, and partially because I'm fascinated by the idea of plastination. The exhibition is as entertaining as it is educational, showing how the human body works and functions in an eye-popping way.

An architect, a geneticist and an engineer walk into a room ... and end up creating one of YouTube's most loved comedy skit geniuses! Foil Arms and Hog bring their latest collection of humour and whimsy to Prague's Congress centre at the end of the month. Dum-Dah!
Local circus and dance troupe La Putyka celebrates as its very first show returns to Prague for this weekend. They've been nominated for, and won, awards across Europe including at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. This 75-minute show, billed as "Circus in a dewy pint" is a magnificent combination of imagination, acrobatics, dance and comedy.
Having a mother whose also a pianist means large chunks of my childhood were accompanied by Clayderman's albums playing in the background. The French virtuoso will return to Prague with a 12-piece string orchestra for his "From Paris with love" tour; also the name of one his best-selling albums.
The inaccurately named "Restaurant week" (which actually lasts all month) is in full swing in Prague at the moment. We can forgive them the lapse in timing because the ability to try out new restaurants, new dishes and new options is a great way to discover the hidden culinary talents the city has to offer.
The National Theatre is dazzling audiences with a combination of modern choreography, set design and costumes. Avant-Garde is a minimalist show, letting you focus on the athletic, almost ethereal, dancing. At almost 3 hours - with breaks - it's a long performance, but well worth your while.
The cosy environment of the Theatre Royal will come to life with the Virginia Delgado Artistic Ensemble and their Flamenco show.
