The Mucha Museum is the only museum of its kind, here in Prague, it showcases the prowess of Alphonse Mucha. Alphonse Mucha’s repertoire of skills in Art Nouveau manifested in the many paintings, posters and advertisements he crafted. The graceful, wave-like lines, reminiscent of vines, and flowers were the predominant feature of all his pieces, with beautiful women as the centrepiece. Alongside this “soft” and fluid feeling his craft evoked, these were further enhanced by his use of pastel colours, further evoking the relaxing and gliding emotion.


The very pieces Alphonse crafted are now featured in this one museum in the world, dedicated to his brilliance. Featuring seven different sections, each section presents the unique craft of Alphonse. One distinctively stunning one “Decorative Panels”, features an arrangement of cycles. “The Four Times of the Day” is one that features the different times in a day, from the break of dawn, morning, evening and night, the beautiful ladies don Neoclassical robes, framed by an intricately designed gothic window. The stylistic flair of Alphonse can be summed up by these panels, each one manifesting in yet another piece, yet absolutely unique. The most famous piece of all here is “Gismonda”, a poster done for the famous Parisian actress - Sarah Bernhardt and her movie. The poster was what shot Alphonse to fame, as his craft was highly sought after, with the Parisian public resorting to even cutting the poster out for themselves! At this Czech exclusive museum, his personal items are also on display, showcasing what contributed to this spectacular art form and genius. Truly a remarkable man with stunning craft and flair for painting and decorative art, his craft remains one that many marvel at, with many still flooding here to take a gander at his brilliance.
