I might try one of the following. These recommendations are from Rick's current Prague guidebook. Both should be able to do a tour of the fine arts (art nouveau) in Prague.

Martin Bělohradský, formerly an organic chemistry professor, is particularly enthusiastic about fine arts and architecture (mobile 723-414-565, [email protected]).

Petra Vondroušová is a friendly guide who designs tours to fit your interests (mobile 602-319-420, www.compactprague.com, [email protected]).

can't help with a guide but worth trying to book a tour of the Municipal building,the bars and restaurants in the building are quite stunning so worth a visit, not the cheapest places but not expensive

I'll second Unclegus - the Municipal Building is a must for Art Nouveau fans. The best parts of the building aren't accessible without a tour.

Municipal House for sure , Paris Hotel , K and K Hotel on Hybernska , just a block or so from Obecni Dom ( Municipal House ) , several notable buildings on the northeast side of Wenceslas Square , Jerusalem Street Synagogue , to name a few . You don't need a guide , only familiarize yourself with the choices before you arrive . One of my favorite books on this subject , about ten dollars for a used copy here - https://www.amazon.com/Prague-Fin-Siecle-Petr-Wittlich/dp/2080135341/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492358670&sr=8-1&keywords=prague+fin+de+siecle

there is a Mucha museum in Prague, well worth visiting.

Thanks to all for the great information. We ended up with a great guide, Alzbeta Petrinova. We found her through Rick Steve's recommendation of Personal Prague Guide - www.personalpragueguide.com

Alzbeta showed us many great examples of Art Nouveau buildings and provided interesting information. We visited many of the interior passageways, discovering both architectural and historical gems. She also spent time telling us about the transition from communism to democracy - both historical and from an eye witness. It was a highlight of our trip. We had planned to schedule the tour later in our stay, but it happened on our first full day and we were so grateful because it introduced us to Prague, set our compass, and she gave us good ideas for other visits and restaurants. I highly recommend her.

A few listed in Prague, the rest in the immediate region in the event your travels take you further than Prague.

James , I'm still gobsmacked over the buildings in Budapest ( The Museum of Applied Arts , Lindenbaum House , Postal Savings Bank , Budapest ) I had no idea !!! Give our best to Paty , we think of you often , Sue and Steve

Sue, Steve; my favorite travelers. You guys would be ideal role models for so many. We'll be back in September/October. You know you always have a standing invitation weather we are in town or not. If / when you do get back i have discovered some amazing hidden corners in the city. It just keeps getting better each year. Unfortunately the Alexander Cafe / Book Store has recently closed. Very, very, very sad. Love to you and yours....

We won't stay away , it's like staring at the cases in a konditorei , so many pastries , a surfeit of choices , too little time. The Museum of Applied Arts intrigues me , it seems stylistically reminiscent of this Modernisme work in Barcelona - https://santpaubarcelona.org/en . Since I'm a pushover for polychrome roof work , The Bank is also pulling at me . I am very sorry to hear about Alexandra , I found this article , perhaps there is some hope - https://bbj.hu/business/mora-and-lira-to-take-over-24-alexandra-bookstores-_131503 . The loss of The Alexandra is disheartening for me on two counts . The beautiful interior not being accessible to visitors , and the closing of a bookstore , always a tragedy in my scheme of things . For those who might read this , here is an article that shows and explains The Alexandra Bookcafe in Budapest - https://welovebudapest.com/cafes.and.restaurants.1/budapest.s.historic.lotz.hall.cafe.suddenly.shuts.down

For just the purpose of a book store there is one just a little further up the road that is excellent, and we can direct you to a street with a number of good stores. They still love their books. I'm more of a Bauhaus sort of guy. Our home is yours any time you want.

Sorry, i feel like we hijacked your thread. Here is some art nouveau in Prague: http://artnouveau.pagesperso-orange.fr/en/villes/prague.htm and https://www.contexttravel.com/cities/prague/tours/art-nouveau-and-modernism-prague-at-the-turn-of-the-century
