AB  - This article concerns the embellishment of St. Cyril and Methodius' church in Prague-Karlín as a supplement to the previous article about its architectural realisation. Part of the embellishment, realised by eminent artists of the period, was created immediately after the architectural construction of the church, consecrated in 1863. The larger part, however, was not realised until much later, down to the activity of The Association for the Embellishment of St. Cyril and Methodius' church, founded in 1884. Recently discovered Records of the Association, which reveal frequent backstage discussions about the assignment of the tasks and their realisations, provide precious archive evidence. The article discusses also the unfulfilled conceptions of the embellishment. The church furniture and accessories of the 20th century are presented only marginally.
