Adaptation of the Agricultural Museum

After several designs that Víšek worked on at the beginning of the 1920s together with his teacher Theodor Petřík, independent competition proposals, and collaboration with builder Karel Tomášek on the so-called Legionnaires' House in Doubravka near Plzeň, the young Jan Víšek completed the reconstruction of the Agricultural Museum. This purist reconstruction, which was received very coolly by the public at the time, brought Víšek international acclaim and was published, among others, by Theo van Doesburg (incidentally, in the contemporary magazine Stavba, the text by Theo van Doesburg titled New Dutch Architecture was accompanied by images of this adaptation by Víšek).
