Czech Museum of Cubism es una recomendación en la guía curada de Almanac X Alcron Prague.
En la Casa de la Virgen Negra —obra pionera de Josef Gočár— el Museo del Cubismo Checo revela una modernidad radicalmente praguense: aristas, geometrías y una elegancia intelectual que atraviesa arquitectura, mobiliario, vidrio y cerámica. Más que una colección, es una lectura de cómo Praga escribió su propio capítulo en las vanguardias del siglo XX.

As someone who is a fan of cubism architecture and interior I found this museum to be very interesting and worthwhile! The pieces on display are beautiful and very well preserved!

Very recommended for those interested in art history, Czech culture, or both. I will say, however, that the first floor café felt over-rated and -priced.
