The Mucha Museum
The Mucha Museum is situated inside the Baroque Kaunitz Palace in the New Town. With its approximately 500 m², it is the only museum in the world dedicated to the life and work of the world-acclaimed Czech artist Alfons Mucha, the main representative of Art Nouveau. It was opened to the general public in 1998 and visitors can see a whole range of items for the very first time, as they come from the private collections of the family. However, the exhibition does not include his most famous paintings called The Slav Epic.
