If you’re in Prague, don’t miss the Museum of Czech Cubism

Their achievements in architecture were unique, so it’s fitting that the museum itself is in the first Cubist building in Prague. The House at the Black Madonna was designed by then 31-year-old Josef Gočár and constructed in 1911–1912 as a department store called U Černé Matky Boží (At the Black Madonna) for wholesaler Franti&scaron;ek Josef Herbst. The name came from the 17th-century sculpture of the Black Madonna adorning the Baroque building the store replaced, generating a lot of criticism at the time. A copy of the statue was installed on the northeast corner of the new façade behind a gold grille, joining Cubist elements on the entrance and dormer windows. <a href="https://medium.com/@itsapip69/if-youre-in-prague-don-t-miss-the-museum-of-czech-cubism-71dbb13ecf33">Click Here</a>
