An annual artistic gathering of blacksmiths and metal sculptors in Mladá Boleslav, held each June 1. For example, the 2025 symposium (9–13 June) invited international craftsmen to create large metal sculptures and ironworks live in public 1. These works are later installed around the city to form the unique open-air "Metal Path" gallery. Visitors can watch artists forge art on-site, blending traditional craft with modern sculpture.
Metalové sympozium was initiated to promote industrial heritage and metal craftsmanship in this car-manufacturing city. It adds to Boleslav’s cultural identity by highlighting craftsmanship skills and expanding public art 1. The event complements other local art projects and attracts students, locals, and occasional art tourists interested in Prague’s countryside art scene.
