origins of the Lennon Wall

located in a small and secluded square across from the French Embassy in Prague, Czech Republic
the wall had been decorated by love poems and short messages against the regime since 1960s
following the 1980 assassination of John Lennon, an unknown artist painted a single image of the singer-songwriter and some lyrics
the wall continuously undergoes change, even when the wall was repainted by authorities, by the next day it was again full of poems and flowers
today, the wall represents a symbol of global ideals such as love and peace.
