Exhibit: Alfons Mucha (1860-1939)

Warsaw is one of the lucky cities to co-host this major European tour of Czech artist Alfons Mucha. The artist's grandson John Mucha has helped get the show on the road, and he's trying to break the stereotype of the grand old man being nothing more than a poster designer. As a result, visitors to the National Museum will be able to check out drawings, paintings, photographs, calendars and jewellery designs by the legendary Czech master. Over 190 artefacts are coming on show, and poster fans won't be left out in the cold, as a good number of these classic pieces are included in the exhibition. There's no doubting that Mucha captured the spirit of his age, creating some of the most memorable imagery of his era. But will a mass of Mucha be too sickly sweet to swallow, or will it be as enchanting as daybreak in the artist's home city of Prague? Head over to the National Museum and find out.
