The Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague (UMPRUM) was founded in 1885. Throughout its existence it has ranked among the best educational institutions in the country. It boasts a number of successful graduates who have gone on to become respected professionals, garnering acclaim beyond the Czech Republic.
The school is divided into the departments of architecture, design, fine arts, applied arts, graphics, and theory and history of art. Each department is divided into studios according to their specialist area. The studios are all led by leading figures of the Czech art scene.
Twice a year the school opens to the public for a presentation of student work, entitled “Artsemestr”, and organises over 15 exhibitions, half of which are shown abroad.
