Paris – A Fateful Encounter
Alfons Mucha might have been remembered today as one of the many Czech artists trying to make their dream come true in Paris if it weren’t for his legendary poster for the Gismonda play starring Sarah Bernhardt. She literally became his femme fatale, and the poster was so popular with the Parisians that some collectors bribed the bill stickers to give them the poster or cut them out with a razorblade at night! You can see the most famous posters by Mucha at the Mucha Museum at the Kounic Palace in Panská Street in the centre of Prague. Besides the posters, you can also admire his oil paintings and drawings. The exhibition also includes photographs and personal items from his life.Family Collection Treasures Unseen to the World
