Mucha fun in Prague

Posted on Wed. 26/03/2008 18:30. Categories: Czech Republic | Museums

Art lovers will revel in the fantastic Mucha Museum in the Czech Republic, which celebrates the life and work of the renowned art nouveau painter Alfons Mucha.

Famous for his unique style, Mucha produced a huge amount of work in a range of fields - from posters to champagne labels and town hall murals to bicycle adverts.

Many of these are displayed at this great venue, which also includes pages from the celebrated artist's sketch book.

Not only displaying selections of his heart, the building also houses mementoes from Mucha's life, including photographs and personal memorabilia.

The museum was opened by his family in 1998, nearly 60 years after his death in 1939, sitting right in the heart of the Czech Republic's capital in the 18th century Kaunitz Palace.

Those who are eager to see more of Mucha's art can visit his stained-glass window in St Vitus Cathedral.

One of Mucha's most famous works is the sinuous goddess of Job rolling papers.
