About

Kampa Museum in Prague is a modern art gallery housed in the historic Sova’s Mills on Kampa Island, nestled along the Vltava River in the city’s picturesque Malá Strana district. Founded by Meda Mládek, a passionate art collector and patron, the museum showcases Central European modern art, with a strong emphasis on Czech artists. Its permanent collection includes works by František Kupka, a pioneer of abstract painting, and sculptor Otto Gutfreund, alongside rotating exhibitions featuring contemporary creators. The museum’s mission is rooted in preserving and promoting art created under challenging political conditions, particularly during the Communist era. Outside, visitors are greeted by striking sculptures, including Magdalena Jetelová’s oversized chair and David Černý’s crawling babies, adding whimsy to the riverside setting. Inside, the galleries offer a thoughtful journey through avant-garde movements and personal expression. With its blend of cultural depth and scenic location, Kampa Museum is a compelling destination for art lovers and curious travelers alike.
