Museum Kampa - The Jan and Meda Mládek Foundation was founded in 1999, followed by the museum itself two years later. The ceremonial opening of the museum took place in 2003. The main purpose of the foundation is to support Czech culture, and the preservation and presentation of its collections. The museum resides in Sovovy Mlýny, a location rented from Prague for 99 years. In return, the foundation gave an important part of its collection to the city of Prague.
