Prague court refuses to prevent moving Slav Epic to capital

In related news, a court in Prague refused on Tuesday to issue a restricting order, as requested by the painter Alfons Mucha’s family, to prevent the Slav Epic from being moved to Prague. The artist’s grandson John Mucha told the Czech news agency ČTK that the court’s decision was “sad” and would not help the future of the art work. Mr Mucha also said he would keep working to make sure the paintings are eventually exhibited in an appropriate venue in the Czech capital.
