Freud's statue should be placed in the garden of psychiatry

Prague - The Committee for the Protection of Monuments and Tourism of the Prague City Council today recommended placing the statue of Sigmund Freud in the area of the Psychiatric Clinic of Charles University, in the so-called Catherine Garden. Originally, it was expected that the statue would stand in the so-called Goat Square between the Old Town Square and the Haštalské Square. However, there was resistance from local residents against this idea.
    The committee also requests the department of heritage care to continue negotiations with the agency that presented the project. The Prague City Hall was introduced to it in January 2006. At that time, the Catherine Garden was one of the two options.
    Activist Stanislav Penc has protested several times against the originally intended installation of the statue in Goat Square. In a petition that local residents signed against placing Freud's statue in the square, it is reportedly stated that there used to be a pump at the site and it should be restored. Freud supposedly has nothing to do with the square at all.
    The statue, costing approximately five million crowns according to sculptor Michal Gabriel's design, is reportedly already finished. The sculpture depicts a scientist sitting at a desk, with another table featuring a seated figure on it, and this scene repeats itself. According to critics, it is good.
