Meda Mládková, life-long supporter and promoter of modern art and lifestyle is an inspiring personality. This year, she is celebrating her 100th anniversary. During her life in the United States she built, together with her husband Jan Mládek, one of the most important collections of Central European art. The exhibition presents the exciting life of these Czech patrons in America, but also their house, which became a salon of Czechoslovak and Central European art and culture. The Mládeks’ home in Georgetown, Washington was a meeting place for artists, intellectuals, and other personalities, as well as a bridge that connected the world behind the Iron Curtain with the West and introduced the West to the cultural wealth of the Eastern Bloc countries. This unique combination of art, architecture, fashion and design created an unprecedented space – the forerunner of today’s Kampa Museum.
