This spectacular 6 meter sculpture is made from 85,000 keys, and spells the word “Revoluce” signifying the 20 years that have passed since the Velvet Revolution.

The creation of the key sculpture was supported by the Vodafone company, which organized a public collection of keys on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of 17th November 1989. During October and November people brought a total of 85 741 keys to Vodafone branches throughout the Czech Republic, creating the biggest collection of keys in the world.
