From 14 July 2012 until 31 December 2012, the Foundation will be presenting the largest exhibition of Mucha's works in the United States since 1998 at the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The remaining 15 canvases of The Slav Epic have been removed, without approval, from Moravsky Krumlov to Prague. The proposed venue for the Slav Epic is the Veletrzni Palac which, the majority of experts in the field of art history and art conservation and management, including the director of conservation of the National Gallery, agree, would most probably lead to the eventual severe damage if not destruction of it. It is agreed by all that currently the space within Moravsky Krumlov is not ideal nevertheless it is an indisputable fact that the entire cycle has survived there without any damage for almost 50 years. This certainly would not have been the case had the Epic been displayed for such a period at Veletrzni Palac. In the meantime Moravsky Krumlov is taking active steps to renovate the castle whilst the Mucha family continues in its quest trying, through constructive cooperation, to find and establish an appropriate final venue for the Epic in line with the wishes and aspirations of its creator, Alphonse Mucha.

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
