The Phillips Collection, in collaboration with The Mucha Foundation, announces the North American tour of Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line, a groundbreaking exhibition that reappraises the work and influence of Czech artist Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939). Organized by the Mucha Foundation, this major exhibition will premiere at The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, on February 22, 2025, and will be on view through May 18, 2025.

Timeless Mucha surveys Mucha’s revolutionary contributions to graphic design and explores the enduring influence of his signature style, rediscovered by later generations of artists. Featuring over 100 works, the exhibition traces Mucha’s artistic evolution—from his early training to his emergence as a leading figure of the Art Nouveau movement—showcasing his intricate linework, flowing forms, and highly stylized designs that transformed poster art, commercial illustration, and visual aesthetics worldwide. In the 1960s, Mucha’s distinctive style found new life in the vibrant poster art of the counterculture movement—becoming a trademark of psychedelic rock posters and album covers, influencing iconic bands like the Grateful Dead and The Rolling Stones—as well as comic books, Japanese manga, and murals.
