Villa Bílka in Prague was the home of the Czech sculptor and architect of the Art Nouveau and Symbolism period - František Bílek. Today, it houses a museum of his achievements presented by the Gallery of the Capital City of Prague. The artist's works and original interior furnishings with a collection of furniture made according to his design are presented here.
The villa is a two-story, detached house, intended for a residence and studio, made according to the design of his own artist. The building was built in 1911. Around the villa is a garden with a historic tree stand, where sculptures by František Bílek were placed.
The building is intended to symbolize the artistic image of a grain field, while its horizontal projection is to reflect the shape of a scythe. The front poles are supposed to represent ears of corn and refer to the characteristic poles of ancient Egyptian temples. In addition, the villa uses many other symbols, primarily Christian.
