In the footsteps of Alphonse Mucha: Mucha’s villa

Share

The architectural design of the villa in the neoclassicist style was commissioned by Alphonse Mucha from the architect Bohumil Hybšman, and its realization took place between 1925 and 1928. This is a two-storey building, with the ground floor and the first floor used as living space and Mucha’s studio on the second floor. Shortly after the Nazi occupation and the death of Alphonse Mucha, a Wehrmacht officer moved into the villa, who greatly contributed to the fact that Alphonse Mucha’s widow, Marie Muchová was allowed to stay in the house, as well as preserving the collection of Mucha’s works. After the end of the war, Mucha’s son Jiří and his family moved here. However, the villa was nationalized and its residents forcibly evicted in 1950. After 1990, it was returned to the family, rented to the Embassy of Ghana and sold to financier Pavel Hubáček by Jarmila Mucha Plockova in 2015. The villa has been completely renovated.
