You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Founded in 1885, the '''Prague Museum of Decorative Arts''' (((lang-cz|'''Uměleckoprůmyslové muzeum v Praze''' or '''UPM'''))) is housed in a [[Neo-Renaissance]] edifice built from 1897 to 1899 after the designs of architect [[Josef Schulz (architect)|Josef Schulz]]. It opened in 1900 with exhibitions on the first floor. The Museum's rich collections include decorative and [[applied art]]s and design work ranging from [[Late Antiquity]] to the present day with focus on European objects, particularly [[handicraft|arts and crafts]] created in the Bohemian lands. The impressive interior of the permanent exhibition, “Stories of Materials,” offers visitors an excursion into the history and development of decorative arts in the disciplines of glass, ceramics, [[graphic design|graphic art]], design, metal, wood and other materials, as well as objects such as jewellery, [[clock|clocks and watches]], textiles, fashion, toys and furniture.

== Mission ==
The museum in [[Prague]] collects and preserves for future generations examples of historical and contemporary crafts as well as applied arts and design—in both national and international contexts. The staff and directors believe in the harmony between function, quality and beauty; its claimed ambition is to inspire, educate and entertain in a unique way.

== History ==
[[Image:HLBUPM.jpg|thumb|Entrance to exhibitions]]
In 1885, the foundation of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague reflected the dramatic development of Czech society at the time. Following the establishment of a similar institution in [[Brno]] in 1873, the Prague museum soon became an important cultural and educational center in the Crown Lands of Bohemia, then part of the [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian Empire]]. The unfavorable impact of [[Industrial Revolution|the Industrial Revolution]] on the aesthetic appearance and, consequently, the quality of products had for a long time been the subject of justified criticisms from artists, theorists and the public. The idea of establishing a permanent exhibition of decorative and applied arts in Prague was realised through an exhibition arranged by the Arkadia Association in 1861 at the [[Old Town (Prague)|Old Town Hall]] in Prague. Another source of inspiration was the founding of a similar institution—the South Kensington Museum (now [[Victoria and Albert Museum]]), which opened in London in 1852 and originally contained a collection of objects of applied and decorative arts. More important for the Czech public, however, was the Österreichisches Museum für Kunst und Industrie, which opened in Vienna in 1864.

In 1868, in cooperation with the Vienna museum, the Prague [[Chamber of commerce|Chamber of Trade]] and Commerce held an exhibition on [[Žofín Palace|Žofín Island]] of objects obtained from the Exposition Universelle d'Art et d'Industrie de 1867—[[International Exposition (1867)]]—supplemented by historical arts and crafts mostly from the collection of Vojtěch Lanna, who became the Museum's most important donor and sponsor. In a period when funds and suitable buildings were hard to find, the promise of the exhibition area in the [[Rudolfinum]] (the House of the Artists) also contributed greatly to the birth of the museum.

== Past Exhibition ==
The Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague presented many notable exhibitions. They presented works of greatest Czech artists, such as [[Alphonse Mucha]], [[Josef Sudek]], [[Ladislav Sutnar]], [[Libuše Niklová]], [[Václav Špála]] or [[Martin Janecký]].<ref>((cite web |title=Past Exhibitions |url=https://www.upm.cz/en/what-s-on/archive |website=upm.cz))</ref>
