The area
Address
Neighborhood: Nove Mesto (New Town)
Nearly 700 hundred meters long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na Příkopě, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafés, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theaters. National Theater near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.

- Helena KUnited Kingdom133 contributionsA little disappointingI love Mucha's work, so I was very happy to see a museum dedicated to him. It is quite small, however, and there isn't a great deal to see. It felt like it was an exhibition. The video they showed was the best part, which told us a lot of really interesting aspects of his life, many of them unknown. The shop was nice, and wasn't too overpriced. The museum entrance fee was, however.Visited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 22, 2023
- Sandi&StanCalifornia Desert, California54 contributionsBe sure to visit the Mucha Museum when you are in Prague.I found this museum, and the story of Alphonse Mucha fascinating. The museum displays his unique works, and you can view a film of his life and how he became such a well-known artist. There is a nice shop where you can purchase souvenirs - I bought a scarf with a Mucha painting design, and then ordered additional items from the website when I returned home (so I did not need to pack the items for travel!)Visited October 2023Traveled soloWritten March 24, 2024
- nolajackieNew Orleans, Louisiana116 contributionsWe love MuchaA really good look at the works of Alfons Mucha. The museum had prints and paintings for viewing and a film on the artist’s life and work. I personally enjoyed the artist’s studies that prepared him for his final pieces.Written July 23, 2024
- Cora Visits PlacesGlasgow, United Kingdom229 contributionsIgnited a real love for this artist!I knew nothing about Mucha before visiting this museum and now I really love his work. He had such a groundbreaking style and I really connected to it. Won't be true for everyone of course, but if you have a curiosity it is a small museum (exhibition really) to familiarise yourself with him and his style. There is a documentary playing on a loop in a room at the back. It is a tight space and the TV is old, but this short film REALLY helps you appreciate his work. I felt like I learned so much I could then see in the art. I have seen others complain about the architecture and the lighting, but unless you are a real stickler for those things you aren't likely to notice. My only complaint is that it could do with some benches. I feel like the space could afford it, and it would make it more possible to sit down and appreciate the work without having to stand on aching tourist-ing feet.Visited July 2024Traveled soloWritten July 31, 2024
- Janet MCordova, Tennessee818 contributionsGreat Museum of Alphonse Mucha Art Nouveau WorksWe visited the Mucha Museum in May 2024 (2 Adult tickets = 560CK or $24.24USD). I am a big fan of Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939). This museum is the only one in the world dedicated to the life and work of the world-acclaimed Czech art nouveau artist. We appreciated the way the museum exhibits were divided into seven sections: (decorative panels; posters (Parisian and Czech); documents; oil paintings; drawings and pastels, photographs and personal memorabilia of the artist). We also watched the documentary of his life and work. The museum is not that large, and you can easily see everything in less than two hours.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 12, 2024
- actranslationRedmond, Washington138 contributionsDelightful gem of a museumSmall museum dedicated to the art deco works of Alphonse Mucha. Most people know him for his commercial posters, but this museum paints a much deeper picture of the artist and his life. The museum is small, and easy to meander in; there is a 30-minute video at the back (in English) which plays in a loop. The gift shop is full of beautiful things, but be sure to do the math, as there are some very expensive items.Visited September 2024Traveled soloWritten September 12, 2024

I visited the museum on Monday and It was ok.
It was very crowded considering the size of the museum and the price is little too high.
However the gentleman that sold us the tickets was very friendly and advised us what other places to visit in Prague. He knew a lot about art and history. Thank you Martin for telling us about Dox!! It was great!
Museum is average for the price, but at least people that are working in there are friendly and helpful.

Museum is extremely small, includes limited number of exhibitions, and charges too much.
You can watch movie that starts at full hours, however still you can get insights about the life of Alphons Mucha by googling it.
The place could be interesting for Mucha enthusiast, otherwise you will be left dissapointed by poor value-for-money experience

It won’t take you long to get around here unless you’re a super fan and want to inspect everything in great detail. However, it’s a great way to spend an hour in a cold day, especially if you like art nouveau.
I didn’t know anything about Mucha before, but am quite interested in his style and work having now been here.

Not even going to consider the fact (that many other reviewers here pointed out) that this is a very small exhibition; the space size doesn't really matter as long as it's used correctly.
What was really disappointing is that the vast majority of what hangs in the "museum"'s walls is a facsimile - a high quality print of an original. Most of Alphons Mucha's works were of course prints, but there's a huge difference between an original lithograph print and a photocopy made in a modern printer... Mucha Museum does a great job in obscuring this fact, by using some kind of slightly blurred glass in almost every exhibit's showcase, making it very hard to notice the minute details of said prints. In the very few cases (I think I counted 3 or 4) of original lithograph prints, a more transparent glass is used...
Nevertheless, the inner section includes some original oil-paintings and the photographic documents do a quite decent effort to shed some light into the artist's life and practices.
Personally, I find unacceptable the fact that they strategically omit to inform the visitor that what they are seeing are not originals. I guess it would make them sound less impressive and attract fewer tourists, not to mention that nobody would be willing to pay the outrageous price of 12€ to look at inkjet posters...
If you're a big Mucha admirer I would rather recommend the Municipal House which features a room decorated with murals by the artist.

Hello,
I very rarely write reviews but I found this important to mention.
While the few pieces that are there are very interesting, this "museum" has no more than 2 rooms as an exhibition.
Paying 10 EUR per person to see 2 rooms in less than 15 min is rather an insult.
Mucha was an inspiring artist that definitely deserves much more recognition.
My advise? DO NOT waste your money and 5 min of time here. Unfortunately, it's just a tourist trap...

Like many museums in Prague the Mucha museum is very small. One floor devided in "sections". It's also one way. you walk to the end and the same route back.
Want to see Mucha and spend nothing? Go in to the museumshop without admission and see all the best work. You won't miss out on any originals in the museum. Staff is friendly nor interested. The admission is 200Kr overpriced.

A museum for Art Nouveau: Czech painter Alphonse Mucha’s distinct style is commonly recognized in Parisian posters and decorative panels. He’s considered the Master of Art Nouveau and his museum just happened to be across the street from our hotel. Prague is so rich in history, art, and architecture!

If you are at all interested in Mucha or like the look of his art, I highly recommend this museum. It is uncrowded, his works are shown well and everything has excellent English descriptions. The worthwhile film at the end was also in English. Lockers for your backpacks and clean restrooms to boot.

A small 'museum', most of the work is not the original lithograph or drawing but a facsimile - not what I expected for the high entrance fee. In addition, most images are mounted behind very slightly textured glass, which creates a feeling of them being printed on plastic.,,as for the staff, I have one word - rude ! From the man behind the desk to the woman who turned the monitor off before the end of the (very good) documentary, they were clearly not enjoying their jobs !
An artist of this calibre really should be represented in a more suitable manner.

Bad attention, by a bad-looking guy who barely knew how to speak English, we told him that he should sketch a smile because it was the first impression we had of the museum and he laughed like a monkey! We cancelled the payment and ordered the complaints book, it became a disagreement and said they didn't! Bad picture of a space that should be memorable! From the previous comments we realize now that we are glad we did not enter! We would pay 1750 Czech crowns, equivalent to 70€ (charge 350 crowns for people over 12 years old, have no family tickets, we are a couple with 3 children over 12 years old) to see 2 rooms, so they say poorly lit. What a shame, Muchcha didn't deserve this.

Bonjour. Est-il possible d'acheter des billets coupe-fil pour le musée Mucha? Sur quel site? Le site du musée propose l'entrée avec visite guidée... Est-il possible d'obtenir seulement les billets? Merci

Is the line long enough to book early?
I don’t really like booking early because I usually change plans last minute (I’m a mess) so I was wondering if the line is one of those impossible lines of 5 hours or is it bearable? Thanks in advance!

HI, Fernanda, When we visited in May we just walked right in.
Don't get your hopes up for this museum. It is quite small.
Go across the street to the hotel to rest in their lounge and use the restrooms!
Go online and order the book.
Note that the Jubilee Synagogue is near the Mucha Museum--it's pretty amazing (not as much as the Spanish Synagogue, though!).
You are also not far from the Art Nouveau Railroad station. take the metro there and walk to Mucha and Jubilee.
Happy Travels,

Здравствуйте.
Я посетила музей в Праге.
Но хотелось бы посетить также дом в Чехии , где работал и писал свои работы Муха.
И получить информацию где сейчас можно посмотреть ' славянскую эпопею'. В какой галерее.
Буду очень признательна за информацию.
Я буду в Праге до 21 августа

Здравствуйте! Вовремя не увидела это письмо от Трипэдвайзера, но дополнительной информации у меня нет. Посмотрела в буклете, который мы купили в музее, информация о выставках есть на сайте Фонда Мухи 3 дубль в, muchafoundation, орг (вместо запятых точки, орг - латинскими, иначе трипадв. не пропускает). Может, найдете что-то полезное. Успехов!

Bonjour, j'aime beaucoup l'art nouveau et pensais visiter ce musée mais certains commentaires me font un peu peur ! La visite n'à pas l'air de vraiment valoir la peine... une question toute bête : peut on accéder à la boutique sans faire la visite ? Merci ! (Je me pose la même question pour le musée Kafka).
Written May 10, 2016
Bonjour,
Oui, on peut accéder à la boutique directement sans passer par le musée.
Par ailleurs, je pense que la déception de certaines personnes vient de l'appellation "musée" alors que cela s'apparente plus à une expo, mais pour qui est amateur de Mucha, la visite vaut la peine.

Hi. We will be in Prague in April. We plan to visit this museum on a Sunday by 3pm.
Is it crowded? Would 3 hours be enough to line up and see everything inside?
Thanks in advance.
Written March 8, 2016
Hi,
I visited the museum in November, it wasn't crowded. In my view 2 hours will be enough that you see everything - film about life artist and works (art nouveau posters, paintings and decorative panels as well as many sketches, photographs and other memorabilia, banknotes, postage stamps ...) He decorated the windows of the cathedral in Prague. In the Municipal House Hall, one of the most beautiful buildings in Prague (Náměstí Republiky 5), you will see artwork by Alfons Mucha.
Enjoy in Prague!

I can't recall that they do, but I wonder if you are asking about the museum or about a hotel. A museum generally is either air-conditioned or not. That said, even though the day was warm, the museum was comfortable.
