Did you know that Mucha did stained glass windows?

Including a cathedral? And there's also a building of multicolored light, as well as incredible stained glass that may be new to you.

Except for Sainte Chapelle -- surely you've seen it? If you haven't seen it, click through! Six magnificent themes from around the world.

One of the highlights of visiting Prague was the Mucha musuem. Not just the posters and photos of the stained glass, but exquisite furniture. Such a talented man.

Furniture?

Always something new to learn!

Amazing furniture -- like Charles Rennie Macintosh, he did all aspects of design. The museum has a website: http://www.mucha.cz/index.phtml?S=home&Lang=EN Just a wonderful place.

But not enough pictures online! Something to look forward to, if I ever make it to Prague.

It's a glorious city: I hope you do get there some day.
