Museum Kampa, Modern art museum in Lesser Town, Prague, Czech Republic.
Museo Kampa is an art museum in Prague's Lesser Town, housed in a converted historic building on the Vltava River's edge. The collection features paintings, sculptures, and graphic works from Central and Eastern Europe spanning the 20th century to today.
The building was originally a mill and was converted into an art museum in the early 2000s. This transformation saved the historic structure and turned it into a space for contemporary exhibitions.
The museum displays works by Czech artists like František Kupka and Otto Gutfreund, whose pieces fill the rooms and tell the story of modern European art. You can see here how artistic expression evolved from the early 20th century onward.
The museum is located on Kampa Island, accessible on foot from the Old Town Square or via the Charles Bridge. It is well-marked and provides information about exhibits in multiple languages.
The museum houses a significant collection of works by French-born artist František Kupka, displaying his abstract paintings that are rarely seen in this concentration outside the Czech Republic. This collection makes it an important destination for those interested in early modern abstract art forms.
