Though dating from 1912, Josef Gočár’s House of the Black Madonna (Dům U černé Matky Boží, upm.cz) – Prague’s first and finest example of cubist architecture – still looks modern and dynamic. It houses an exhibition of the Museum of Decorative Arts' wide-ranging collection of cubist furniture, ceramics and glassware, as well as displays on Prague's unique cubist architecture and a cubist cafe: the Grand Cafe Orient .
