Kampa Museum

Galleries and Museums in Prague

Located on the left bank of the Vltava River and situated in the old 15th century Sova Mill is the Kampa Museum. This gleaming white structure has been meticulously renovated and is a gorgeous structure indeed, especially on a clear day with the contrast of the white façade against a clear blue sky.

The Sova Mill, named after the original owner Vaclav Sova was left abandoned for years until Meda Mladek, a well-known Czech-American art collector, had the brilliant idea to turn it into a museum with her and her late husband’s impressive collection of Central and Eastern European art that has been growing since the 1960s. Her husband, Jan Mladek once said, "If a nation’s culture survives, then so too does the nation." Meda Mladek has done a first rate job of keeping Czech culture alive. The most impressive pieces of the collection are from Frantisek Kupka and Otto Gutfreund.

Kampa Museum holds not only priceless pieces from Kupka and Gutfreund but also temporary avant-garde international exhibitions. Do not miss the Kampa Museum Bookstore & Gift shop, an attractive space where you can find books on art, design and architecture, jewelry, accessories and more.
