John Lennon Wall: Head Over to This Famous Attraction in Prague

I have personally been a big fan of different forms of art. I love paintings personally as that view of the art form is much more visual and also colourful. I have always wondered if painting is difficult and so to clarify that doubt within me I also have tried my hands on it. You might have seen contemporary painting, Abstract painting and many more. The Graffiti wall painting is always one that I have admired. The John Lennon Wall in Prague is mostly dedicated to Graffiti painting like that. This wall is one of the most visited places in Prague and people just go here to view the most famous graffiti painting. These Painting depicted in the history of Prague as at one time, this wall was used by the protestors to express their pain and anger through the artform. This should definitely be on top of your list while you visit Prague.
