Mucha museum

The Mucha Museum – the first museum in the world dedicated exclusively to the life and work of the world-famous representative of Art Nouveau Alfons Mucha (1860–1939) – was founded by Swiss entrepreneur Sebastian Pawlowski. It is operated by Muchovo Muzeum s.r.o. and opened to the public in the Kaunický Palace on Panská Street in Prague on February 13, 1998. Since September 2024, the Mucha Museum has been exhibiting most of the key works from Ivan Lendl’s famous collection of Mucha’s works, curated by Jack Rennert. The Ivan Lendl collection is currently owned by Portu Gallery investments – a member of WOOD & CO. Ivan Lendl was known for collecting only the highest quality works of art.

Mucha Museum on Panská Street is the only place in Prague that exhibits exclusively originals. The museum presents all the most important exhibits from Alphonse Mucha's Parisian period and a large number of his most popular commercial commissions for companies such as Moët & Chandon, Job Cigarettes, Lefèvre-Utile Biscuits, Nestlé and many others. The museum has attracted more than 2.6 million visitors over the past 27 years. It should not be confused with a similar museum that copied its name and concept and recently opened nearby.

Muchovo muzeum s.r.o. is a member of the Association of Museums and Galleries of the Czech Republic and the Czech Association for Artificial Intelligence.

The exhibition features posters from his Paris period and a number of popular commercial commissions for companies such as Moët & Chandon, Job Cigarettes and Lefèvre-Utile Biscuits, among others. The museum is divided into six main sections:

Decorative panels; Parisian posters; Commercial works; Czech posters; Memorabilia.

The exhibition concludes with an impressive documentary film about the life and work of Alfons Mucha.

The exhibition contains the most important and popular works of the author's poster art.
