And every inhabitant of Prague knows that modern is Alfons Mucha and his work. That's why, when you are in Prague, do not forget to visit the museum of Alfons Mucha.
Alphonse Mucha (1860- 1939) was a famous master of Art Nouveau or Art Nouveau style. Starting his career as a painter and decorator in Paris and Vienna, he became famous when he made posters and posters for the famous Sarah Bernhardt. Alfons Mucha created exciting pictures, posters, posters, advertisements and book illustrations, as well as sketches for jewelry, carpets, wallpapers and theatrical scenery, originally called the "Fly style", but now known as Art Nouveau style.
A small museum of the Czech art nouveau artist Alfons Mucha presents his works of remarkable illustrations, paintings, drawings, lithographs, jewelry, pastels, sculptures, photographs and personal memorabilia . Here only Most of the art of Alfons Mucha - about 100 exhibits . A significant part of the exhibition are things that relate to the Parisian period of life and creativity of the artist . The museum has the opportunity not only to get acquainted with the works of the great modernist, but also to be at the epicenter of the creative process - in the master's workshop - where you will see the tools and brushes with which Mucha created pictures, as well as photographs of the family, the creative process and furniture items .
