Prague has already invested in displaying Alfons Mucha’s Slav Epic at the Veletržní palác, while it makes no money in Moravský Krumlov

Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda and South Moravian Governor Michal Hašek have found an issue they can belabor for 2011. Rather than take decisive action, they have formed a committee to try to determine what to do with Alfons Mucha’s series of 20 paintings, the Slav Epic. Prague would like to permanently display the series, but the people who currently possess them aren’t eager to give them up.
