Museum Dedicated to Alphonse Mucha:

The Mucha Museum, dedicated to the Czech Art Nouveau artist, Alphonse Mucha, is a small Prague museum with a lot to offer the Mucha enthusiast or the budding Mucha fan. Mucha is famous for his posters and advertisements, but as the museum emphasizes, he was a nationalist who used inspiration from his homeland to create masterpieces.

Exhibits at the Mucha Museum:

The Mucha Museum offers visitors a look at Mucha's personal and professional life in photos, a replica of part of his studio, lithographs in various stages of production, sketches, and publications. A point of pride for the museum is the painting "Star," depicting a peasant woman meeting her fate on a frozen night under the glow of a single star.

Mucha Museum Video:

A video about Mucha's life plays on a loop in a room at the back of the museum. Staff members at the museum let you know when the video is about to start.

Mucha Museum Shop:

The Mucha Museum shop offers a variety of posters, trinkets, and wearables. Some of these are nice, but visitors may find them overpriced.
