History
The statue was melted down in 1952.[4] The reconstructed statue of Milan Rastislav Štefánik was placed in the vicinity of the observatory on Prague's Petřín Hill in 1994. It is meant to be a smaller version of the statue originally intended to be placed in Bratislava in 1937.[4][5][6] It was unveiled in front of the Štefánik’s Observatory on August 30, 1994.[4]
