Every major location has its fair share of museums and in most places some are better than others. Some focus on art while others tell you about the history of the location you are in. But there will always be a handful of museums that are insightful and interesting to boot.

If you happen to be in Prague you should definitely make the effort to see the Mucha Museum. This acts as a tribute to Alfons Mucha, who is known as one of the best Czech painters in existence. If you know anything at all about art nouveau in France, you will probably have heard of his name. But regardless of whether you have or not you will certainly come out of this museum knowing a lot more about him than when you went in.

It is a small museum but no less interesting for that. You’ll guess from the name that it features his work and no one else’s, so you’ll get an insightful look at his work and life. It even has pages from Mucha’s sketchbook on display, allowing you to see his sketches in their original form.

This museum is definitely a real treat for art lovers of all kinds. But even if you don’t know much about art it is still worth taking a look round, and you have from 10am until 6pm to do so each day.

You can find the museum in the New Town area of Prague, at Panska 7. Once there you can even watch a documentary telling you more about the life of this celebrated artist. He may be much better known in Prague and other European countries than he is in the UK, but you’ll be glad you explored more about his life by visiting the museum while you are there.

If you love his style and artwork you’ll also be pleased to know there is a museum shop inside the museum itself. This gives you the opportunity to see some of Alfons Mucha’s designs on items you can take home with you. What better way to have some more permanent memories of your time in this museum in Prague?
