The museum dedicated to the life and work of the world-famous Art Nouveau master, Alphonse Mucha (1860—1939), is located in the Late Baroque Savarin Palace. A selection of some 80 works, ranging from oil paintings, drawings and pastels to sculptures, photographs and the artist’s personal effects, offers a unique insight into the world of the artist who designed posters for Sarah Bernhardt. The exhibition, the venue for which was prepared by architect Eva Jiřičná, also features works by Alphonse Mucha that have never before been exhibited. The exhibition is arranged into four thematic sections: Mucha & His Homeland, ‘Le style Mucha’ & Art Nouveau, Mucha the Visionary and The Slav Epic. On display are paintings, posters, drawings, books and photographs, along with immersive and digital projections. These combine to offer insights into Mucha’s spiritual journey from his beginnings in Moravia; through to his breakthrough in Paris as a poster artist and Art Nouveau pioneer; and to his eventual achievement as a philosopher-artist, who crystalised his utopian vision in his monument for the Slavs, The Slav Epic.
