On arrival
Find the facade visually supported by four figures and look at them one by one.
Look closer
Their postures, expressions, apparent exertion, and how the facade turns into a dramatic scene.
Architecture has real weight, and someone is footing the muscular bill.
The four atlantes turn the building into a large-scale physical joke. The house's nickname—U čtyř mamlasů—stems from these figures and has become part of its popular identity. After an impossible horse, a debated Justice, and an illegible clock, Brno puts four bodies to work bearing the facade. Only the finale remains: a child with an adult face and one wing short.
Accessibility at this stop
Choose a viewing point that does not block outdoor seating or entrances; figures are elevated, so detail descriptions should assist.
