Researcher at the Documentation Department
Anežka Mikulcová studied art history at Charles University (Ph.D. 2020), focusing on 19th-century fine arts. As part of her doctoral studies and postdoctoral research, she dealt with a specific type of portrait, portrait silhouettes (book Portrait of a Shadow: The Phenomenon of Portrait Silhouettes in the Long 19th Century). Since 2018, she has been working at the National Heritage Institute as a conservator in the restoration department (General Directorate of the National Heritage Institute, Prague). Recently (since 2026), she has been involved in the project Photography Go-Betweens and the Closed Society: The nobility as a catalyst for the growth of photography in Central Europe in the 1840s–1860s (GAČR, project no. 26-20400S).
