Overview

Nestled along the Vltava River in Prague's charming Malá Strana (Lesser Town), the Yellow Penguins are a captivating art installation that brings a splash of color and whimsy to the city. Created by the Milan-based Cracking Art Group, the 34 bright yellow penguins have been waddling in place since 2008. Crafted from recycled plastic bottles, the penguins serve as a striking commentary on our artificial world, bringing awareness to plastic waste and its environmental repercussions, particularly concerning climate change. The penguins are often seen as emblems of the dangers of climate change. These beloved animals are vulnerable due to melting ice in their natural habitats, rising global temperatures, and increased ocean pollution.Located in Kampa Park, the penguins offer a playful and colorful contrast to the natural beauty of the park. Visitors rave about the installation, recommending a visit at night when the penguins light up, creating a magical atmosphere. The surrounding area is rich in history, with attractions like the Charles Bridge and Prague Castle nearby.
