The [[Obecní dům|Municipal House]] (1904–1912) was designed by [[Osvald Polívka]] and Antonín Balšánek, painted by famous Czech painter [[Alphonse Mucha]] and features sculptures of [[Josef Mařatka]] and [[Ladislav Šaloun]]. Polívka, Mařatka, and Šaloun simultaneously cooperated in the construction of [[New City Hall (Prague)|New City Hall]] (1908–1911) along with [[Stanislav Sucharda]], and Mucha later painted [[St. Vitus Cathedral]]'s stained glass windows in his distinctive style. The most important Czech architect of this period was [[Jan Kotěra]], who studied in Vienna under Otto Wagner. His best-known works are the Peterka House at 12 Wenceslas Square in Prague (1899–1900), the [[National House, Prostějov|National House]] in [[Prostějov]] (1905–1907) and the [[Museum of Eastern Bohemia]] in [[Hradec Králové]] (1909–1912). Many important Vienesse architects were born in [[Moravia]] or [[Austrian Silesia]], like [[Josef Hoffmann]], [[Hubert Gessner]], [[Joseph Maria Olbrich]] and [[Leopold Bauer]]. The style of combining Hungarian Szecesszió and national architectural elements was typical for a [[Slovakia|Slovak]] architect [[Dušan Jurkovič]]. His most original works are the Cultural House in Szakolca (now [[Skalica]] in [[Slovakia]], 1905), the buildings of spa in [[Luhačovice]] (now Czech Republic) in 1901–1903 and 35 war cemeteries near [[Nowy Żmigród]] in [[Galicia (Eastern Europe)|Galicia]] (now Poland), most of them heavily influenced by local Lemko ([[Rusyns|Rusyn]]) folk art and carpentry (1915–1917).
