A composition of 34 yellow penguins lined up in a row is set on a dais in the Vltava River near the Kamp Museum of Contemporary Art. The figures, made of recycled plastic bottles, were installed in 2008 as an exhibit of the museum and invariably attract the attention of tourists. The author of this work of art is the art group Cracking Art ("Art that breaks patterns"), founded in 1993 by Italian Omar Ronda. During the project's existence, the artists have installed a variety of animalistic sculptures made of colored plastic throughout Europe.

The composition "Penguins" consists of 34 yellow penguins lined up in a row. The figures are made from recycled plastic bottles by Cracking Art. Prague penguins, according to the idea of ​ ​ the authors, are marching in protest against the irrational use of natural resources. In the evening, the installation is illuminated from within.
