MUCHA – Beyond Art Nouveau
At the turn of the 20th century, Alphonse Mucha was one of the most famous artists in Europe. A key figure of Art Nouveau and the inventor of an original style of graphic art, his work combined female beauty and stylised nature with a resolutely innovative composition and typography. The “Mucha style” has been a source of fascination ever since it was created and was applied to a variety of artworks and objects that adorned art lovers’ homes around the world at the time. Welcome to an immersive experience for all ages!
About Alphonse Mucha
The exhibition tells visitors the story of Alphonse Mucha and his humanist ambition in three acts: as a master of the poster in Paris; at a turning point in his career in 1900, which he was heavily involved in the Universal Exhibition in Paris; and through the presentation of his monumental works, namely the Slav Epic, which develops a vision of Slav history as a pacifist model for the world that resonates today more than ever. The exhibition also focuses on his permanent influence, from the pacifist “Flower Power” movement of the sixties to Japanese manga, superheroes, street artists and even tattoo art.
Using high-quality projections within captivating scenography, the immersive and interactive exhibition MUCHA - Beyond Art Nouveau invites visitors to a deeper experience of Alphonse Mucha’s work and influences – an avant-garde artist and an icon of refinement, elegance and modernity.
