The Metronome is a giant, functional metronome in Letná Park, overlooking the Vltava River and the city center of Prague. It was erected in 1991, on the plinth left vacant by the destruction in 1962 of an enormous monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The 75-foot-tall (23 m) Metronome is now mostly a scenic vista and a meeting place for young people. It was designed by international artist Vratislav Novak.( )
The area behind the metronome is also a popular skatespot where skateboarders from Europe and around the world congregate and film throughout the year.
Pražský metronom je objekt nalézající se v Praze na Letné na soklu nad Čechovým mostem. Autorem je sochař a profesor Vysoké školy uměleckoprůmyslové Vratislav Karel Novák (1942–2014), který jej nazval Stroj času. Svým vzhledem připomíná Mälzelův metronom a ačkoliv jeho mechanická konstrukce je jiná, vžil se spíše název Metronom. Je vysoký 25 m a váží 7 t. Byl vyroben společností ČKD Racionalizace na objednávku Společnosti pro Československou všeobecnou výstavu. Pro obavy z narušené statiky podstavce po odstřelení Stalinova pomníku nemohl být metronom instalován za pomocí jeřábu. Byl sem dopraven a usazen pomocí velkého vrtulníku 15. května 1991 u příležitosti Všeobecné československé výstavy v Praze. Původně vznikl jako dočasná stavba.( )
V roce 2003 byl využit k propagaci referenda o přistoupení České republiky k Evropské unii, kdy se jeho kyvadlo pohybovalo mezi slovy ANO a NE. Roku 2009 zase symbolicky odměřoval čas předsednictví České republiky Evropské unii.[3] [4] Na místě metronomu dříve stál Stalinův pomník (1955–1962) a roku 1996 se zde krátce objevila socha amerického zpěváka Michaela Jacksona, který v Praze na Letné koncertoval.
Praski metronom to olbrzymi metronom w stolicy Czech - Pradze. Usytuowany nad rzeką Wełtawą powstał w roku 1991 na miejscu największego na świecie pomnika Józefa Stalina, zburzonego w 1962.( )

Prague Metronome
On a hillside overlooking Prague, Czech Republic, you can see this giant metronome. The metronome is a replacement for a giant (15m) high statue of Stalin that had previously occupied the site. One night, the just blew up the statue... since they weren't fans of Stalin. The Stalin statue was supposed to stand for all time, so they put up this giant metronome to signify that time continually moves on.
Sorry for the shaky video. Hand holding at max zoom will do that.

The Czech Republic is a nation still in its infancy. It has only been twenty years since the Velvet Revolution peacefully ended communism and split Slovakia from the Czech Republic. Despite the bloodless divide, the time under Soviet communism is still burned into the minds of many Czechs and Slovaks, and in Prague, a constant reminder ticks away every day over the Bohemian capitol.
In 1991, Vratislav Novák designed and constructed a massive metronome on Letna Hill in Prague. Although the area is better known for its vibrant beer garden overlooking the river, Novák erected a permanent reminder in the area to memorialize the Czech struggles under communism.
Cutting a wide path, the hand of the red metronome is over 75 feet long and is easily visible from the city and bridges below. While the metronome itself symbolizes the long struggle against Soviet control, the location of the metronome is a symbol as well.
Prior to the metronome’s construction, the site atop Letna Hill was home to the largest statue of Stalin in the world. For seven years, a 17,000-ton statue of the Soviet strongman loomed over Prague, watching every move of the citizenry and quietly keeping control over the Soviet satellite.
After his death, Nikita Khrushchev took control of the Soviet Union and distanced himself from Stalin. In a symbolic act of the changing of the guard, Khrushchev ordered the destruction of the statue by dynamite, blasting the former dictator off of his perch over Prague. The explosion of Stalin’s statue led to rejoicing in the streets, along with another 30 years of communism in Czechoslovakia.
The metronome is a steady reminder of the legacy left by Stalin and communism in Prague. It is still flanked by two unlit torches, the only remnant of the statue that once existed there. Today, the area around the metronome is visited by tourists and used by many locals for skateboarding and picnics in the nearby park and beer garden. The area provides some of the best views of one of Europe’s most charming cities.

Once the site of the largest Stalin statue in the world, the metronome now inhabits the former dictators post from which he once looked out over the city. Located in Letná Park, the Prague metronome and the area surrounding it is a concrete playground. Skateboarders and other tricksters like to use the space for their acrobatics. Others simply drink beer and dangle their legs over the precipice, gazing out at Prague from their perch. The Prague metronome really has some of the best views of the city.
