The Slav Epic is a cycle of 20 large canvases painted by Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha between 1910 and 1928. The cycle depicts the history of Czechs and other Slavic peoples. In 1928, after finishing his monumental work, Mucha bestowed the cycle to the city of Prague on condition that the city built a special pavilion for it. As of 2010, the work is a part of the permanent exhibition at the chateau in the town of Moravsky Krumlov in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. The city of Prague has waged a decade-long legal battle over the work which intensified in early 2010. Much consideration was given to the idea of relocating The Slav Epic from Moravsky Krumlov, (where it has been displayed for about 45 years), to Prague. It was thought that Prague, a city frequented by countless thousands of tourists, would be able to attract increased attention to and interest in the series of paintings. However, there is no suitable space for the work in Prague's galleries.
