"Lucerna is a Prague cinema opened on December 3, 1909 in the Lucerna Palace, which was built by Vácslav Havel between 1907 and 1921. The builder Dobroslav Hnídek and the architect Stanislav Bechyn participated in the construction of the complex, who, in addition to the cabaret hall, also designed a theater with a revolving auditorium, which was converted into a cinema hall less than a year later. It originally had an Art Nouveau look, but later underwent a pseudo-Rococo renovation. Lucerna is the oldest still functioning cinema in the Czech Republic. From 1926, Václav and Miloš Havel managed the cinema together. During their tenure, in 1929, the cinema began to show sound pictures as the first cinema in Prague. The first film was the Comedians' Ship. After February 1948, the cinema belonged to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (ÚV KSČ), and after the Velvet Revolution, it has been owned again by the Havel family since 1991."
