The original Lennon Wall was first created in Prague , Czech Republic , following the assassination of John Lennon . It was filled with art as well as lyrics from The Beatles . In 1988 , a year before the Velvet Revolution , this wall became a way for people to express irritation with the communist regime of Gustáv Husák . Since the 1980s , the wall has been continuously undergoing changes while the original portrait of John Lennon is long lost under layers of new paint
