Stunning architecture, amazing exhibition
For people that love Art Nouveau, there is an important event going on in Prague right now. This amazing building serves as a perfect backdrop for a large exhibition of the artist Alphonse Mucha’s distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters. Included is an animated tribute to his monumental canvases known as The Slav Epic, depicting the history of the Slavic people. One can also closely examine a replica of his stained - glass window from St. Vitus cathedral. Tickets for this exhibition can be purchased online. Event are starting to be planned for the concert hall. The restaurant on the right and the café on the left of the entrance are opened, but the restaurant inside the Municipal House remains closed. Face masks are mandatory inside.

Impressive!
The municipal house is spectacular. Its façade, the ornamentation, the colors, its interior are the most impressive representations of Art Nouveau in Prague. The only way to visit is by taking the official guided tour. The tours are scheduled twice every day. There is one in the morning in Czech ; the one in the afternoon is in English. You have to pay at the entrance approximately 10 dollars. The tour lasts for one hour and takes you around the different rooms of the second floor and the Smetana auditorium. When they turn the lights of the Smetana auditorium is "wow" The guide speaks very good English and is very nice. The tour is not rushed. The explanations are very good. They do not allow regular tours to visit the place. The rooms are unique: the confiture room, the paintings (the horses, the eagle, the Czech personalities of that time), the aquarium, the oriental furniture, the fabrics, the knobs, the room designed by Mucha, the different auditoriums, etc. It is so unique, colorful and diverse! The elevators are very interesting. You can take pictures! This is one of the most impressive sites in Prague. It is close to the Powder Tower. It is very easy to find and close to the most common visited sites in Prague.

Good concert
Enjoyed the 60 minute concert , the best of classics. You can have a coffee, snack and drink in the cafe at the entrance. You check in your bag and coat before entering the hall.You get a metal token to be redeemed for your belongings . Music played to a high standard.Spoilt somewhat by audience members taking photos and videos of the concert. I wish these people would show some respect.
