Their grandfather determined that the epic should belong to Prague, which will place it in a dignified space. This opinion is also shared by Jarmila Plocková. On the contrary, John supports the option to rest in the underground in Prague’s Můstek under the Savarin Palace, where the underground garages were originally supposed to be.

“My heart hurts at what’s going on,” Jarmila Plockova told Blesk. As an architect, she can’t bother to make the epic part of the planned shopping center. And most importantly, to be taken away from the capital. “Does Prague need this?” He asks several times. He prefers one of the wings of the Industrial Palace, the purchase of an extraordinary Branické ledárna building or a loan from Zbraslav Castle.

Together with the legal representative JUDr. Zuzana Císařová received information from the last meeting of the City of Prague. They can’t agree with them. “According to them, near the capital paid in Savarin almost a million three hundred thousand a month for twenty-five years, ie 373 million. That’s not possible, “they both say. What part of that would come back from entry is a question. In addition, they agree that moisture is retained underground, which could degrade the work. The zoning decision was issued in 2020, but has not yet come into force. Twenty canvases still remain a shame in the air.

Unsuitable conditions

Disputes over the epic began when his grandson John Mucha filed in 2010 an action in which he challenged the property rights of Prague. He failed in the first round in 2017, but in the second round, after an appeal in 2020, the court ruled in his favor. The verdict is not final, the capital has appealed. John owns his third inheritance and one third after his late mother Geraldine († 95). Jarmila also has a third. “Shortly after the death of Alfonso’s son Jiří Mucha in 1991, John transferred the art collection, with the exception of the Slavic Epic from the Czech Republic, to the property of the Liechtenstein Mucha Trust,” adds Jarmila Mucha Plocková. “It simply came to our notice then. Now John Mucha wants to get her too. The conditions in the forthcoming agreement between the Capital City of Prague, Crestyl and John Mucha are so restrictive that they do not allow Prague to decide freely on the epic, ”warns the painter’s granddaughter.

Savarin in the hands of the developer

The Sylva-Taroucca Palace, formerly also the Nostic Palace, also known as the Piccolomini or Savarin Palace, is a late Baroque palace building located at 852/10 Na příkopě Street, in New Town in Prague 1. It is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. It now belongs to the Crestyl development group. Prague should not be the operator of the Slavic Epic, but just Crestyl. He is also to become a member of the advisory body of the artistic administration of the Slavic Epic. The developer would co-decide and the capital would remain in the position of a lamb, shake!

Calculation of our amount

The text of the agreement states a rent of 20 EUR / m2 per month. The appendix contains the area of ​​our 1,450 m2 and the amount of fees for costs paid by the tenant, which is CZK 358 / m2 per month.

1,450 m² x 20 EUR (according to the current CNB exchange rate 500 CZK) = 725,000 CZK rent. The cost charges are 1,450 m² x 358 CZK = 519,100 CZK fees.

Per month: CZK 1,244,100
For the year: CZK 14,929,200
For 25 years: CZK 373,230,000
