The municipal house is spectacular. Its façade, the ornamentation, the colors, its interior are the most impressive representations of Art Nouveau in Prague. The only way to visit is by taking the official guided tour. The tours are scheduled twice every day. There is one in the morning in Czech ; the one in the afternoon is in English. You have to pay at the entrance approximately 10 dollars. The tour lasts for one hour and takes you around the different rooms of the second floor and the Smetana auditorium. When they turn the lights of the Smetana auditorium is "wow" The guide speaks very good English and is very nice. The tour is not rushed. The explanations are very good. They do not allow regular tours to visit the place. The rooms are unique: the confiture room, the paintings (the horses, the eagle, the Czech personalities of that time), the aquarium, the oriental furniture, the fabrics, the knobs, the room designed by Mucha, the different auditoriums, etc. It is so unique, colorful and diverse! The elevators are very interesting. You can take pictures! This is one of the most impressive sites in Prague. It is close to the Powder Tower. It is very easy to find and close to the most common visited sites in Prague.

Enjoyed the 60 minute concert , the best of classics. You can have a coffee, snack and drink in the cafe at the entrance. You check in your bag and coat before entering the hall.You get a metal token to be redeemed for your belongings . Music played to a high standard.Spoilt somewhat by audience members taking photos and videos of the concert. I wish these people would show some respect.

Believe or not Alfons Mucha was the most shining star of the Art Nouveau style. Maybe I should reword it for the floral decor was typical for this style - Mucha was the most impressive flower in the capital of artists, in Paris. His success was connected with the Sarah Bernhardt posters and many of his drawings and paintings were product adverts, for example Moët-Chandon champagn, beer, chocolate or biscuits. Why not? The contemporary exhibiton animates parts of his masterpieces so you are invited by the author (voice is of Pierce Brendan Brosnan) to enjoy both great paintings full of patriotic Slav ethos and also his commercial work, including calendars. A good news to ladies who love big scarves - you can choose from several designs. And by the way the jewelry á la Mucha is also available.

We visited the town hall on March 27. There is a temporary exhibition about Mucha's work. We also took the guided tour. The explanation and the visit to this Art Nouveau building is worthwhile. You must buy tickets in advance. If you don't understand English very well, they will give you a paper with the information, but only in certain languages. Ask your language. The groups can be quite large. You won't always have time to take pictures without people in front of you.

As of September 2023, there is a big, amazing, and wonderful Mucha art exhibit at the Municipal House that far exceeds the official measly little permanent Mucha museum. Its also cheaper for 290K/$13 vs 350K/$19. The exterior building architecture is gorgeous and stunning art nouveau at its best...inside isn't quite as impressive, and security staff doesn't want you wandering unless you're on a group tour. Next I would try to attend a concert or show here to go the full effect. There are a couple of fancy cafes here too in case you want some slightly overpriced drinks and food to be consumed in gorgeous and elegant setting.
