Villa Bílek (GHMP Bílkova Vila) is a magnificent example of Art Nouveau and Symbolist architecture. On our tour, we will show you features of both these artistic movements. You will learn about František Bílek and his outlook on life, art and faith. The tour also includes a visit to his studio, where you can gain an overview of his sculptural work.

Who is Villa Bílek named after?  What architectural style was it built in? Why do beetles and partridges crawl up door handles? Why are there sculptures, drawings and prints on display here, but no paintings? What was the purpose of the balcony inside the house? How is a sculpture made? You’ll find the answers to these and other questions during our tour. Don’t hesitate – come along. We, too, have adopted František Bílek’s motto: Be our guest.

The tour will be in English.
