GALERY FOR THE SLAV EPIC CHOTKOVA

The subject of this diploma thesis is the gallery for a cycle of twenty paintings by Alfons Mucha - The Slav Epic. Alfons Mucha donated the paintings to Prague in 1928 under the condition that: “The City of Prague will place the finished paintings at its own expense in a building specifically designed for this purpose”. However, he did not set a deadline for realization of this building and this condition has not yet been fulfilled. Almost one hundred years later, the gallery for this cycle is still the current theme for the city of Prague. The gallery building will be located between the road Chotkova Street. The aim of the thesis is to find a suitable architectural solution for this place as a dignified space for exhibiting these masterpieces.
