Belasová, Kristýna ; Jarošová, Markéta (advisor) ; Bendová, Eva (referee)
This thesis focuses on Alfons Mucha's Slavic Epic from a curating point of view. It aims to determine and define the ideal ways on how to exhibit the large-scale paintings. This thesis follows up on numerous architectural studies that repetitively aimed to find the ideal space to accommodate the Slavic Epic cycle. It researches the rich history of exhibitions of the Slavic Epic and highlights the positive and negative aspects of said expositions. This thesis highlights the problematics of large format artworks and the optimal ways of presentation. It determines the target group audience and follows up with the specific means on how the display could be adjusted for said audience. Lastly, the author presents the Slavic Epic as a unique artwork of national significance. The goal of this thesis is to present a universal concept for an exhibition of the Slavic Epic. This concept could later serve as a template for future expositions.

The Slavic Epic as a task of architecture
Hromádková, Barbora ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vajčner, Jiří (referee)
The work at hand deals in a broader way with the placement of the Slavic Epic from an architectural point of view. The author first focuses on the role of historical monumental canvases in relation to the formation of the national identity and looks in this respect at some Czech monumental canvases before the Slavic Epic was painted. Another chapter deals primarily with the Slavic Epic. It presents a detailed view on a difficult process of finding a tailor-made exhibition space for the monumental canvas from the point Alfons Mucha started with its painting until the present time. It also shows specific demands on a building in which the Slavic Epic should have been placed. The next chapter presents all projects that have been made so far to build a new exhibition space for the Slavic Epic. Based on the analysis of this work the final chapter describes author's own ideal proposal of a complex architectural solution of the exhibition space which also encompasses exhibition management and marketing.
