Lucerna Palace’s central atrium is dominated by Czech sculptor David Černý’s 1999 dead horse Sculpture ridden by St. Wenceslas. It is supposed to be an ironic twist on the St. Wenceslas statute in the square just about a block away from Lucerna Passage.
The rider of the Černy's dead horse is supposedly St. Vaclav IV, put there to match rider of the the equestrian statue at the top of Vaclavské náměstí, but Černy has made his St. Vaclav in the caricature of President Vaclav Klaus.
