His greatest work is the Slavic Epic. It shows the myths and legends of the Slavic people and the author worked on it for 18 years. The whole Epic is composed of twenty canvases, each measuring 610 x 810 cm. In 1928 Mucha devoted these paintings to Prague but under the condition they remain in a dignified place. Because the conditions were not met the paintings were exhibited in the castle in the Moravian Krumlov. After years of conjecture between Krumlov and Prague the paintings have been returned to Prague. Unfortunately, still remain curled and still waiting for the exhibition.
