'My most beautiful house! For the most intelligent client I've ever had - Doctor Müller! The secret of architecture is there...'
Adolf Loos, architect, 10 December 1930.
Throughout the 20th century, Paris and Prague have symbolized the convergence of art and history.
These cities have always shared a destiny and a culture that is intimately tied. Their artists, architects, writers and film-makers often worked along similar lines.
The 20th century avant-garde Czech movements had a strong influence on the history of French architecture, a prime example being the famous house that Adolf Loos designed for Tristan Tzara in Paris in 1926.
A pioneer of rational design, Alfred Loos then built a villa in Prague for Milada and Frantisek Müller, which has become one the icons of avant-gardism. Using colour and black & white photographs, models, plans, and samples of materials and objects, this exhibition takes visitors into the secrets of a splendid, recently restored villa.
