The way it works - each embassy contacts the companies and organizations they know to donate for the event i- either money or products for sale. Donated products are then sold at the bazaar at the discounted prices so it would sell faster and buyer would be more happy. All received money are then donated to the charities. For the general public there is a small fee (50Kc/2,5USD) for entrance with is also a source of income that goes to charity. But overall it worth visiting since it is a unique opportunity to shop for cool products from around the world at discount. ;-)
Also as the way networking works I had a change to invite my friend and colleague and a professional photographer (at the beginning of his photography career) from work Tomasz Slota (from Poland) to take the photo report of the event. Here you may see the result:
http://tomslot.info/Bazaar2007 /any my few shots
Overall the event was great fun and I'm packed with my Christmas and New Year gifts thanks to it.

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, en France tout d’abord et dans toute l’Europe maintenant, nombre de monuments habituellement interdits à la visite ouvrent leurs portes et livrent leurs trésors à la curiosité du public le temps de quelques journées. Siège de l’Ambassade de France depuis 1919, construit en plein cœur du quartier de Malá strana entre 1736 et 1738, le Palais Buquoy est un exemple très abouti du baroque pragois et le creuset des relations franco-tchèques depuis la première République. A la faveur de ces journées, le public pragois pourra découvrir ce joyau architectural. Ainsi, de l’escalier d’honneur où trône un buste du philosophe René Descartes au salon de musique où Mozart a donné plusieurs concerts privés, de la salle à manger où le 9 décembre 1988, François Mitterrand reçut Václav Havel et des dissidents tchèques pour un petit déjeuner célèbre, chacun pourra se pénétrer de la richesse patrimoniale de ce lieu singulier.
Déroulement : de 10h à 17h, déambulation libre et gratuite assistée d’un petit guide de visite individuel. L’accueil du public et l’entrée dans le palais se feront de Velkopřevorské náměstí 2, Prague 1.
Entrée libre

Here are some recent photos.

Museum Kampa - the Jan and Meda Mládek Foundation has prepared in cooperation with the Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh an exhibition with the title "Disaster Relics", which presents prints by Warhol dealing with the theme of catastrophes. Many of these works belong to a series which was created at the beginning of the nineteen sixties; they reflect Warhol's fascination with death as well as his obsession with "fifteen minutes of fame". Some of these works document the life of the famous, for example a portrait of Jackie Kennedy shortly before and after the assassination of Kennedy. The rest, chronicling the lives of ordinary people, for example prints inspired by racial unrest in Alabama or by car and airplane accidents.
Been there.
