The Mucha Trust also owns the most complete collection of Mucha's correspondence: letters to and from Rodin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Sarah Bernhardt and Jan Masaryk. On top of this, there are many intimate letters to his family, as well as papers setting out Mucha's philosophy of art in fascinating detail. At present, we are archiving this tremendous resource and translating the many Czech documents into English. The goal is to create a central resource not only for scholars, but for members of the public interested in learning more about Mucha's life and times.

This is a major project which will take many years to complete. If you are interested in financially supporting this initiative, please click here

There are post-graduate research opportunities to work with the archive. The Foundation welcomes enquiries from diligent students: please submit research proposals here 

Our collection of Mucha's correspondence is not exhaustive: we are always interested in hearing from people who have letters from or about Mucha - please click here
