About this audio guide
This guide to the Mucha Foundation Art Museum in Prague begins in 2023, when one member of the Mucha family took another to court. It goes back to Alfons Mucha, the Czech artist who made his name with posters in Paris, and to the gift he made to the city in 1928. You'll also hear about the Savarin Palace itself, a Baroque mansion that was a casino until recently. Best heard once you're inside, standing in the first gallery.
