Villa Bílek in the street Mickiewiczova in Hradčany was founded in 1911 according to the author´s own design and was the result of his search for authentic expression of explanation of the substance of the world. Bílek´s Prague villa expresses the author´s mystical conception of a cornfield and its layout plan is taken from concepts of the scythe- it is formed by annulus. The walls of fair-faced and brickwork masonry are rhythmically articulated divided by light pillars (“ear sheaf”), which with their morphology evoke Egyptian architecture. Even the interior layout with dominating spacious studio and interior decoration with fittings made mostly by Bílek himself was assigned with a mystical conception.
Since 1963 Villa Bílek has been maintained by the GHMP. In the permanent exposition located in the villa are presented Bílek´s works from his vintage creative period, as well as original interior fittings.
