Description The article focuses on the fate of stained-glass panes by B. Matal during the reconstruction of Prior shopping mall in Prostějov. The large facade stained-glass panes from the beginning of the 70's that belong among Matal's best artworks for architecture were to be destroyed by the building's owners. Fortunately, they were renovated instead and installed in the interior of the reconstructed shopping mall. However, the new location is not particularly suitable for stained-glass panes.
