Hello,
Can you do 22 of the history asks :)
Much Love :)
Hi, thank you for asking and sorry for taking so long!
22. Random historical fact about the place you are at the moment
Hope I don't accidentally dox myself, but I'm currently here:
Aka the Library of Czech Academy of Sciences where I get to embody the dark academia aesthetic have a space to diligently work on my thesis.
Anyway, here's the random historical trivia: the two statues you can see in the first photo are apparently Thrift (Hospodárnost) and Frugality (Spořivost). That's because when the building was constructed in the 19th century, it first belonged to the Czech Savings Bank.
