This advertising column is found in T.G. Masaryk Square in beautiful Plzen. A seemingly staid square, there is a lot of interesting history, especially related to the statue of T.G. Masaryk, who was the part of the National Liberation movement and first Czechoslovak president. It was originally unveiled on October 28, 1928, exactly ten years after the foundation of the Czechoslovak Republic. During Nazi occupation, the monument was firstly covered up and later dismantled. The statues survived the war hidden at the Castle of Zbraslav in Prague. It was unveiled once again on the 28th of October 1945. However, in 1953, as an act of revenge by the Communist regime for the demonstration of Plzen citizens against currency reform. During this incident, the statutes were destroyed by employees of the Škoda Works. With the fall of the Communist regime in 1989 an opportunity arose to install a new statue and the current replica has been standing since 1999.
The column itself is about 1.5 metres in diameter and mostly has posters of events. One of the events is the showing of the film Lajka, a Czech animated science fiction comedy film. It is inspired by Soviet space dog Laika.
