Alfons Mucha was one of the most celebrated Art Nouveau artists. He is famous for his Art Nouveau posters advertsing Gismonda in which Sarah Bernardt, the celebrated French actress played the leading role. He also designed stamps and banknotes.
They only work that is not in this museum is Mucha's Slav Epic, a series of twenty large canvasses inspired by the Slav history. They are in Moravsky Krumlov in The Gallery, a renaissance castle because the paintings are so huge that this castle is the only place that could accommodate them.
