Mucha Foundation Art Museum: Art Nouveau and Utopia
***Discover the world of Alfons Mucha – the artist who brought worldwide fame to the Czech Republic.*** **The Mucha Foundation Art Museum**, the only official museum dedicated to the work of Alfons Mucha (1860–1939), invites you to an unforgettable visit. It is the only museum in the world managed directly by Alfons Mucha’s family and the Mucha Foundation. The exhibition offers an authentic and unique insight into the life of one of the most renowned Czech artists of all time – a leading figure of the Art Nouveau movement and a visionary thinker, whose utopian ideals culminated in the monumental Slav Epic. The exhibition showcases more than eighty works from the Mucha family’s private collection – including exhibits that have never before been displayed in public. Visitors will pass through four thematic sections that take them through Mucha’s entire life: - Mucha and his homeland - ‘Le style Mucha’ and Art Nouveau - Mucha the visionary - The Slav Epic Paintings, posters, drawings, books and photographs – complemented by digital projections – will draw you into the story, from Mucha’s Moravian roots through his triumph in Paris to his role as a philosopher-artist who captured his vision of the future on the monumental canvases of the Slav Epic.
