Museum Kampa

Museum Kampa ranks 7th in the list of best places to visit in Prague. This is a modern art gallery in Prague, Czech Republic, that exhibits work from Central Europe, particularly Czech artists. The pieces are from the private collection of Jan V. Mládek's wife, Meda Mládek. The museum opened in 2003 and is located on the eastern side of Kampa Island on the Vltava River.

Jan and Meda Mládek, the husband and wife founders from Poland and then Czechoslovakia, began collecting local art in the late 1960s while residing in the United States. Under Communist authority at the time, artists were struggling to develop and sell their work. The museum was constructed from an old mill and opened in 2003. Mládek's personal collection is displayed with works by Central European painters from the second half of the twentieth century. The museum is dedicated to displaying artistic expression created during the terrible periods of struggle and tyranny that characterized the region prior to the turn of the century.
