Mucha Museum (Muchovo Muzeum)

The world´s first Mucha Museum, dedicated to the life and work of the world-acclaimed Czech ART NOUVEAU artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), is housed in the Baroque Kaunicky Palace in the very heart of Prague.

Mucha, who was part of the Art Noveau movement, became a leading exponent of the visual arts field in Prague and you can see examples of his work in the Obecni Dum (Municipal House) and St. Vitus's Cathedral. Most famously known for the posters created for Sarah Bernhardt, Mucha also diversified into other art genres, most notably designing a number of stamps for the first Czechslovak Republic. Exhibits here include paintings, drawings and lithographs by the artist as well as personal effects.
