One building in the U.S. embassy complex has been under wraps in recent months for some restoration work.
The coverings came off a few days ago and it looks very spiffy, with what appears to be a fresh paint job. 
Here's what it has looked like in recent months while the work was underway. These construction drapes are a very familiar site in Old Town, with so many older buildings being restored. 
I went out for a walk today in between marking final exams. Some interesting blue-and-gold curtains, red carpets, and kleig lights are being installed at the historic Opera House. A production of Dvorak's opera Rusalka premieres here on Monday, so perhaps that's what it's about. At least, I assume those curtains are temporary!NOTE: Click on any image in this blog to see it full-size.
