Museum Kampa

This guide to Museum Kampa in Prague follows Meda Mladek, a Czech exile who sold her Washington house with her husband Jan to buy paintings she couldn't bear to lose, and who spent decades quietly collecting the work of Czech artists their homeland's regime refused to show. You'll hear about her devotion to the abstract painter František Kupka, and what happened to her plans once the Velvet Revolution reopened the country she had left. Look for the mill building itself, and what state she found it in when she finally came home.
