Architect Libeskind unveils model of Prague Dali museum

The world-renowned Polish-born architect Daniel Libeskind has unveiled his model of a new Salvador Dali museum for Prague, which should be completed by 1997. If the planned museum goes ahead it will stand where Revolucni Street meets the Vltava River. Mr Libeskind said on Tuesday that in the modern world cities had to compete in various areas, and the Dali museum would allow Prague to compete in the area of culture. The architect is best-known for the Jewish Museum in Berlin and his project for the site of the World Trade Center in New York.
