The sixteen sculptures come from of the biggest names in the local contemporary art scene, including Michal Trpák, Čestmír Suška, and Michal Gabriel.

Emnation, a nine-foot bronze statue of Buddha in the lotus position, was crafted by English sculptor Sukhi Barber. It can be seen between Terminals 1 and 2 at the Václav Havel Airport.
