    There is no more famous author in the history of Czech music, no matter what style you are fan of. The first track to be heard after the American astronauts landed on the Moon was his amazing and immortal "New World Symphony". Even the impact crater on the first planet of the solar system Mercury is named after him and its name also bears the asteroid 2055 Dvořák orbiting the Sun in the main asteroid belt. Antonín Leopold Dvořák was born on September 8, 1841 in Nelahozeves, and died after five weeks of suffering on May 1, 1904 in a cause of a stroke. He is buried here, in the Vyšehrad Cemetery. The design of the whole tomb of the Dvořák family is the work of the famous Czech sculptor Ladislav Jan Šaloun. It consists mainly of the composer's bronze bust on an Art Nouveau stone pedestal with a motif of weeping willow and harp. Není v dějinách české hudby slavnějšího autora, ať už jste fanoušci jakéhokoliv stylu. První skladba, která zazněla na Měsíci po přistání amerických kosmonautů, byla jeho úžasná a nesmrtelná Novosvětská. Je po něm dokonce pojmenován impaktní kráter Dvořák na první planetě sluneční soustavy Merkur a jeho jméno nese i planetka 2055 Dvořák, obíhající Slunce v hlavním pásu asteroidů. Antonín Leopold Dvořák se narodil 8. září 1841 v Nelahozevsi a zemřel po pěti týdnech trápení 1. května 1904 na mozkovou mrtvici. Pohřben je právě zde, na Vyšehradském hřbitově. Návrh celé hrobky rodiny Dvořákových je dílem vinohradského sochaře Ladislava Jana Šalouna. Tvoří ji hlavně skladatelova bronzová busta na secesním kamenném podstavci s motivem smuteční vrby a harfy.

    (Translated by Google) Cool cemetery with some interesting tombstones (Original) Cooler Friedhof mit teilweise interessanten Grabsteinen

    The cemetery is interesting but I would not come for any individual tomb. We visited two weeks after Easter and there were a lot of flowers and plants on the tombs.
