A private museum, principally devoted to the Czech painter, Frantisek Kupka, opened yesterday (11 September) in a former mill on the banks of the river Vitava in Prague.
The Kampa Museum, founded by two Americans, Meda and the late Jan Mladkova, was born out of a sixty year collection of central European artists’ work.
The museum, mainly housed in an old watermill but with the addition of a modern cubic extension in glass, exhibits 215 works of Frantisek Kupka, who started his artistic career as a symbolist, before becoming an abstract painter. There are also exhibits of works by the Czech cubist sculptor Otto Gutfreund Details: www.museumkampa.cz
