Bust of Bedřich Smetana [ Statue, sculptural group or sculpture ]
There is a sandstone bust of the music composer Bedřich Smetana placed on a square pedestal. It is the work of J. Štursa and came into existence as a study to the memorial of Bedřich Smetana in Litomyšl on which the sculptor worked in 1923 - 1924. The bust belongs to the collection that was
brought to the National park around 1920 by Dr. A. Hrstka. In 1971 the original was restored by an academic sculptor Z. Pícha and stored in the lapidarium of the Museum of National history in Nový Jičín. The copy is placed in the park now instead of the original.
