Museum of Czech Cubism – House of the Black Madonna

The Museum of Czech Cubism in the House of the Black Madonna was closed in September of 2012. In the future, the exhibition should reopen in the National Gallery's Veletržní Palace.

The Czech Cubism exhibition on the second, third and fourth floors of the Cubist House of the Black Madonna designed by architect Josef Gočár focuses on the period 1910-19, the most important period of Cubism in Czech lands.

Cubist painting at the Museum of Czech Cubism is represented by the works of Emil Filla, Bohumil Kubišta, Vincenc Beneš, Josef Čapek, Antonín Procházka, Václav Špála, Jan Zrzavý, Otakar Nejedlý and Otakar Kubín. You can see plaster and bronze sculptures by Otto Gutfreund, most notably his acclaimed sculptures titled Anxiety (1911 to 1912, Bronze) and Holding Each Other (1913 to 1914, Bronze), as well as Cubist furniture, architectural drafts and black-and-white photographs of completed Cubist buildings by foremost artists of that time. The fourth floor features temporary exhibitions.

On the first floor of the House of the Black Madonna there is the excellent Grand Café Orient that went through a very sensitive reconstruction in 2005 that preserved the atmosphere and interior of the original cafe from 1912. Worth visiting is also the Kubista gift shop on the ground floor of the building where you can buy architecture books on Cubism and the Modern, jewelry and Cubist ceramics.
