Mucha Museum, Biographical museum in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic.
The Mucha Museum is a biographical museum in Prague's New Town dedicated to artist Alfons Mucha and his work. The collection includes paintings, drawings, pastels, sculptures, and personal objects spanning his career and creative development.
The museum was founded in 1997 and occupies the Baroque Kaunitz Palace, a nobleman's residence built in the 17th century. This historic setting connects to Prague's artistic past while housing one of the most comprehensive collections of Mucha's work.
The museum's focus on Mucha's Parisian work reflects how his designs shaped everyday visual culture during the Belle Époque period. Walking through the rooms, you see how his posters and decorative pieces became woven into the fabric of urban life.
The museum is open daily and easily accessible in the city center, with a gift shop offering reproductions and merchandise. The rooms are well-arranged for comfortable browsing, and there are places to rest between galleries.
The museum displays Mucha's extensive Paris output but deliberately excludes his monumental Slavic Epic paintings created later in his life. This focused approach allows visitors to deeply explore the artistic period that made him famous across Europe.
