Description

The only official museum dedicated to the artist Alphonse Mucha approved by the Mucha Foundation and endorsed by the Mucha family.

The Mucha museum: Art nouveau and utopia

The Mucha family and the Mucha Foundation welcome you to the only official Mucha Museum in the world showing the work of Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939), one of the world's best-known Czech artists.  We invite you to explore Mucha's works both as a guiding spirit of Art Nouveau and also as a utopian thinker, whose vision culminated in his late masterpiece, The Slav Epic (1912–1926).

We are delighted to share with you the story of one of the Czech Republic's best-loved cultural figures through a completely new selection of over eighty artworks from the Mucha Family Collection, including pieces that have never been shown in public before.

The exhibition is arranged into four thematic sections: Mucha & His Homeland, 'Le style Mucha' & Art Nouveau, Mucha the Visionary and The Slav Epic. On display are paintings, posters, drawings, books and photographs, along with immersive and digital projections. These combine to offer insights into Mucha's spiritual journey from his beginnings in Moravia; through to his breakthrough in Paris as a poster artist and Art Nouveau pioneer; and to his eventual achievement as a philosopher-artist, who crystalised his utopian vision in his monument for the Slavs, The Slav Epic.
