For decades it was almost impossible to find an Alfons Mucha original in his homeland. In 1998 this private museum opened with nearly 100 works from this famous Czech artist's long career. What you expect to see is here—the theater posters of actress Sarah Bernhardt, the magazine covers, and the luscious, sinuous art nouveau designs. But also exhibited are paintings, photographs taken in Mucha's studio (one shows Paul Gauguin playing the piano in his underwear), and even Czechoslovak banknotes designed by the artist.
