Jan and Meda Mládek Collection

Meda Mládková

The Jan and Meda Mládek collection is the core of Museum Kampa exhibition. Besides works by František Kupka, an “undesirable artist” during the communist era, there is a broad collection of other works by artists from Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland that do not follow the official socialist style.

Provenance and cultural activities

Description of content

  • The collection contains about 2000 works – paintings, sculptures, drawings, collages, and photographs. Its political implications are more nuanced, and one of the reasons for this, according to the collection’s employee, is the fact that Czechoslovak art was not as political as works by Polish or Hungarian artists. The core of the collection was defined by the taste of Meda Mládková.
