We are pleased to announce that our group steadily continues, is expanding and is accelerating its work on our long term (read: 'permanent'') and our 'showcase' multi-functional complex facility program to recreate the Lost and Historic Prague Cultural Center™, which was built between 1900-1903, next to Wenceslas Square in the center of the historic and downtown, UNESCO registered historic zone of the downtown 'new town' of Prague, in the Czech Republic.

A unique, 'quiet' and private Art Nouveau and Classicism facility which first opened its doors to the public in 1903, it was purpose built to serve this downtown cultural center function, yet the center has been largely closed and forgotten since World War II - having been partially used during socialism/communism and later for other and often inappropriate purposes. Certainly, there were damages made to the facility, which we will restore and renovate in following closely to the original designs - in both style, function, quality of materials and finish work.

Our goal is to have a sensitive and appropriate museum-quality restoration of all essential historic elements in the facility - and of course, to renew and expand upon its original cultural functions it has traditionally provided for the surrounding community and its international visitors, including our firm's own founding sponsorship and creation of a new Prague Film Museum™ and associated Prague Film Music Museum™ - which , themselves, will be representative of some of the cultural activities taking place in these facilities for nearly 7 decades.

This program of our firm Cultural Landmark Management Ltd. is designed to be done as a classic Mixed Use / Self Supporting Cultural Facility, based on a Sensitive Use Policy of varied cultural activities in the public spaces, and financially supporting but non disruptive other activities in the significant areas of essentially 'invisible' non-public spaces in the multi-functional building facility. Also part of the large facility is an equally forgotten center city private garden area -with mature trees- and The Prague Garden House™ - which also 'belongs' to this historic facility and has been a known element of the property since being carefully and very clearly drawn on The King's Map of Prague of the 1840s.

The multi-functional complex facility program plan which we are following includes Three Core Program Elements which form the historic three essential elements and, hence 'parts' of the traditional use of the property, dating from the original and obviously hand drawn floor plan designs of 1900.

1. There is a continuing Live Music Element, dating from 1903, from which time there has been effectively always a major orchestra playing in the Great Hall - and for the past 66 years there has been a philharmonic orchestra, which uses the facility and records music there, nearly every day, for all the major Hollywood and other major international film studios and TV productions, worldwide.

2. There has been, although it is now closed and abandoned, a Prague Music Garden Restaurant™ as a parallel, complementary and high revenue generating element which not only provided typical restaurant and cafe revenues, but also was part of the 'draw' to the center as it was the host of popular garden concerts in the Prague Music Garden™ - which was always part of the facility
   

3. Additionally, there has always been space for commercial offices upstairs in the property, and they have been used, more or less continuously since 1903. Historically they were used for cultural and scientific organizations such as the URANIA Association™, of which Albert Einstein was an active member and participant in events at our center and coffee house ('turn of the 20th Century, Prague 'Kavarna') - at one time famous and very busy until being closed down by the Nazis when Czechoslovakia was invaded following the Munich Agreement.

At the present time, Cultural Landmark Management Ltd. is actually concluding the final steps in buying the property, after many months of exhaustive site inspections, negotiations, and the requisite historical research and consultations with various official ministry and other respected experts and our own professional evaluations to revel all the significant issues that must be addressed in its restoration, reopening and self-sustaining future operations. Following from our original plan, of many years back, Cultural Landmark Management Ltd. will reconstruct it and administer it as a 'showcase' facility, and also it will serve as a part of our continuing philanthropic commitment to the international community as a demonstration that self supporting cultural facilities' use is possible, long term - with skilled professional management.

We are pleased to coordinate and discuss the program with professionals in the historic conservation and preservation world, as well as with officials in government, everywhere, to discuss and elucidate the progress of the program, as a demonstration of the professional skills that our Cultural Landmark Management Ltd. international team brings to such a program.

Although admittedly a 'showcase' facility, we have undertaken this program, and are financing and will manage it precisely because we recognize that sometimes in the cultural preservation world it is important to do more than simply quietly advise others on 'how things should be done.' It is for this reason and for the purposes of demonstrating to the international business community that 'public-private partnerships can and do work,' that our firm has initiated and undertaken this historic project and the public responsibility that it entails.

Essential in understanding this program 'from the outside' is to recognize that the facility was designed to be a self supporting and mixed use cultural center in 1900, and was initiated by and designed and built by the famous Prague architect Alfons Wertmuller - who had not only built what is today known as the Prague State Opera House, but also had also built 30 other theaters for cities throughout Central and Eastern Europe in his career. At the end of his career he sponsored, designed and built this facility. It is also important to understand that this program which we are embarking on concerns what is now officially recognized as having been the only downtown cultural center ever built on or or next to Wenceslas Square - which is considered, worldwide, to be the historic and modern 'heart' of Prague. Noteworthy is that this property is, in effect, the 'lost' Prague Cultural Center™ in downtown/center city Prague.

We invite you to explore the program and we note that your comments and suggestions are most welcome, of course. In this site, we will include photographs and videos of the facility in its progress back to being a privately owned and operated yet public, self financing and well loved downtown cultural center for a great capital city of the world named Prague.
