National Gallery Prague
About

The National Gallery Prague is the Czech Republic’s foremost art institution, founded in 1796 and renowned for its diverse collections spanning centuries and continents. Rather than occupying a single building, its exhibitions are housed across several historic sites in Prague, including the Trade Fair Palace, Kinský Palace, and the Convent of St Agnes. The Trade Fair Palace showcases modern and contemporary art, featuring works by Picasso, Klimt, and Czech masters like Kupka and Mucha. The gallery also presents medieval, Baroque, and Asian art in its other venues, offering a comprehensive view of global artistic heritage. Recent exhibitions have highlighted Czech and international artists, such as Libuše Jarcovjáková, whose raw photography explores themes of identity and marginalization. With a mission to preserve and promote cultural diversity, the National Gallery Prague serves as a dynamic space for reflection, education, and artistic dialogue. Its layered history and inclusive programming make it a vital destination for art lovers and cultural explorers.

Prague Czech Republic
Location

The National Gallery Prague is one of the city’s most significant cultural institutions, with its main address at Staroměstské náměstí 12, right on Old Town Square in Prague’s historic center. Rather than being housed in a single building, the National Gallery’s collections are spread across several important sites throughout the city. The largest venue is the Trade Fair Palace (Veletržní palác) in Prague 7, which features modern and contemporary art, while the Kinský Palace, located directly on Old Town Square, showcases a range of exhibitions from Asian art to Czech and international masterpieces. Other notable gallery buildings nearby include the Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia, Sternberg Palace, Schwarzenberg Palace, and Salm Palace, each offering unique exhibitions and architectural experiences. The area around the National Gallery’s Old Town Square location is rich with attractions. Visitors are steps away from the iconic Astronomical Clock, the Old Town Hall, and the vibrant streets of Prague’s Old Town, filled with restaurants, cafés, and shops. The Jewish Quarter, Charles Bridge, and Wenceslas Square are also within easy walking distance, making the National Gallery an ideal starting point for exploring Prague’s historic and cultural heart.
