New Jewish Cemetery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Jewish Cemetery in Prague was established in 1891 to relieve the space problem at the Old Jewish Cemetery, Prague.
The cemetery is noted for its many art nouveau monuments, among them, two monuments for members of the Perutz family by Jan Kotera, the monument to artist Max Horb by Jan Štursa in the form of a mourning peacock, and many remarkable works of the decorative and sculptural arts in florid art nouveau style by less well-known artists.
