A new Mucha Museum opened in the beautiful reconstructed Savarin Palace, a late Baroque building on Prague’s Na Příkopě Street.
John Mucha, the artist’s grandson, and Marcus Mucha, the artist’s great-grandson, opened the museum and highlighted that the Mucha Foundation’s events worldwide attract around half a million visitors annually, and it will be a part of the Czech Pavilion at the Expo 2025 in Osaka.
Watch the Opening ceremony, with the speeches of Simon Johnson- CEO of Crestyl, Marcus Mucha, and the legendary architect Eva Jiřičná.
The museum showcases works by Alfons Mucha, including reproductions of pieces from his Slav Epic cycle. This marks the second Mucha museum in Prague, joining the original museum in Kaunický Palace, a few steps away, which opened in 1998.
The exhibition, located on the first floor of the Savarin Palace, features 90 original works and 150 exhibits in total, and a special shop with Mucha works will be open soon to the public.
The museum was curated by Tomoko Sato and designed by architect Eva Jiřičná.
The city of Prague is still negotiating the placement of the Slav Epic in the Savarin palace.
