There is not a lot, but the posters are great and it is unlikely you will see as many in one place. They play a video and I bought a copy it: well done, has not only background information, but good quality pictures of the posters and other works..

As the mixture of reviews shows, this is not a large museum and indeed there are not as many of the panels and particularly the commercial adverts that Mucha designed as you would expect. What is it with ticket staff in Prague? The shop staff were helpful and pleasant but the ticket seller couldn't have been more charmless had he... More

A typical tourist trap - if you like Mucha, dont expect to learn anything new or see any of his paintings you had not seen. The most important of this "museum" is the gift shop - many things sold there can be bought cheaper elsewhere in Prague, e.g. in Karlova Street.

To make it short: a disappointment. Very unfriendly staff (interesting how you can leave such an impression when all you do is sell tickets, right)! Very, very, poor presentation: I had been looking forward to seeing "Woman in the Wilderness" but all I got to see was a dark canvas with reflections of the ceiling spots... I've never seen anything... More

Nice little museum that provides a quick history of the life of Mucha; examples of his work throughout his life, as well as a film that tells his life story. Take the time to visit – well worth it if you are a fan of Mucha.

Museums in Prague are generally bad value for money, and this is no exception. Too little to see, and rude staff whose contemptuous attitude to visitors suggests that they don't realize that the days of communism are long past. If the staff are rude, complain - I got an apology and free tickets

Located close to Wenceslaus Square, this small museum is a good introduction to the artist. It displays a lot of posters plus some paintings, including a large and haunting canvas painted while Mucha was doing studies in preparation for his great Slav Epic canvases, shown in a separate museum which we did not have time to see. This one shows... More

As a theatre student in the sixties, Mucha's theater art nouveau posters of Sarah Bernhardt decorated my dorm room and then grad school apartments. It was fun now to learn about the man behind them and his political background. The video is a good intorduction and there is enough of his work in this small museum to get a sense... More

This is a limited/small but interesting exhibition of Mucha's work and life. As others have suggested, go to the video show at the back first - this is a well produced and informative video and allows you to appreciate the museum 's collection better. Personally I and my partner felt his famous posters were somewhat poorly presented. The lighting, positioning... More
