Exhibition summary

This museum is dedicated to the life and work of Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha, showcasing a selection of around 80 works including paintings, drawings, sculptures, and personal effects. The exhibition offers unique insights into the artist's world, featuring pieces never before exhibited.

Curatorial context

The Mucha Foundation Art Museum, located in the Late Baroque Savarin Palace, presents a comprehensive look at the life and work of Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), a globally renowned Art Nouveau artist. The exhibition features a curated selection of approximately 80 pieces, spanning various mediums such as oil paintings, drawings, pastels, sculptures, and photographs, alongside personal effects that offer a intimate glimpse into the artist's creative process and personal journey. The collection is thoughtfully arranged into four thematic sections: 'Mucha & His Homeland,' 'Le style Mucha & Art Nouveau,' 'Mucha the Visionary,' and 'The Slav Epic.' These sections guide visitors through Mucha's artistic evolution, from his early life in Moravia and his breakthrough in Paris as a celebrated poster artist and pioneer of Art Nouveau, to his later development as a philosopher-artist who crystallized his utopian ideals in his monumental work, The Slav Epic. The exhibition also incorporates immersive and digital projections, enhancing the visitor experience and providing deeper insights into Mucha's multifaceted contributions to art and culture. The venue itself, the Savarin Palace, was prepared by architect Eva Jiřičná.
