Villa Müller in Prague-Střešovice was designed by Adolf Loos, with Karel Lhota contributing because of Loos's poor health. It was built in 1930 for František Müller, co-owner of the Kapsa-Müller construction company, and Milada Müller. The article calls it an early modernist landmark.
The facade is white and cubic, and the interior uses marble, wood and silk. It has a Raumplan spatial design across multiple levels, a raised sitting area called the theater box, and opaque covered windows. The article gives no dimensions.
Communists seized the house in 1948. After Milada's death in 1968, museums bought key fittings, and the house served as storage, a library and an institute of Marxism-Leninism. It returned to the daughter Eva Maternová in 1989, was sold to the City of Prague in 1995, restored in 1998 and reopened as a museum in 2000. It was closed for renovation from February 2025 until at least April 2026.
