Prague agrees conditions for Slav Epic to go on show in China

Prague City Hall has rubber stamped an agreement for the massive 20 painting series by Czech artist Alfons Mucha, the Slav Epic, to go on show in China. The agreement over the loan and conditions calls for the payment of 2.7 million crowns by Chinese authorities. The paintings are also due to be exhibited in Japan as part of the Asian tour. The tour has been condemned by the grandson of the famous painter, John Mucha, who warns that they risk being damaged on such a tour and away from their usual protected environment.
