"I'm not really a gallery artist. I prefer working in the open air. Since childhood, I've always worked outdoors. I'm not that keen on people coming to cultural institutions to experience art," Cerny tells us.

We also visit the MANA Theatre to meet actor Antonin Holub, who chose to return to the Czech Republic after several years living in Paris. "I really missed Prague. I love this city. This theatre is my little home," he explains.

Finally, we bring you a special tribute to a towering figure of Art Nouveau: Alphonse Mucha. His great-grandson, Markus Mucha, gives us a tour of his foundation. Mucha "was one of the first artists to see that a woman's beauty doesn't belong to men. It comes from within, from a woman's heart, her spirit, and it radiates outward through her face," he says.
