The Museum is situated in the building of Sovovy mlรฝny. Records of its existence date back as far as 1393 and indeed, flour was milled here for 600 years. The building was acquired by Czech philanthropist Meda Mlรกdkovรก after the Velvet Revolution in 1989 and she transformed it into a modern gallery of Central European art. Have a coffee on the terrace and enjoy the view of the Vltava River, Charles Bridge or the National Theatre.
Residents and visitors of Prague can enjoy a special week-long discount at several museums and galleries in the city center.
From July 15 to July 21, these cultural institutions will offer a 20% discount on admission as part of the โCultural Mileโ initiative by the cityโs authorities.
The projectโs aim is to elevate the prestige of fine art in Prague and attract more visitors to its art institutions. This initiative provides a perfect opportunity to explore Pragueโs rich cultural heritage at a reduced cost.
Participating museums and galleries include:
One of Pragueโs masterpieces of Baroque architecture and a superb example of Baroque living and the aristocratic lifestyle of the time. Ludwig van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart both performed here, for instance.
The building is a work of art in its own right. It was financed by Czech patrons and industrialists and its lavish embellishments showcase the best that arts and crafts in the Czech lands of the 19th century had to offer. You will be endlessly amazed, as are we Prague residents. By the way, the museum building offers a beautiful view of one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in the world.
Prague City Gallery (2nd floor in the city library)
The architecture, highly functional and modern for its time, houses one of the most beautiful exhibition spaces in Prague, featuring extensive halls and rows of cabinets. Two to three times a year, it hosts the most prestigious exhibition projects of the metropolitan gallery put together by its curators. It is accessible both through the foyer of the Municipal Library and from Valentinskรก Street, where it is marked by a portal designed by architect Vlado Miluniฤ in 1996.
The Rudolfinum Gallery focuses primarily on presenting contemporary art, both foreign and Czech. The sumptuous architectural design of the galleryโs exhibition halls is complemented by the Artpark educational centre, whose agenda follows up the ongoing exhibitions with the aim of bringing contemporary art closer to children, adolescents and adults alike.
The latest phenomenon on the cultural map of Prague. This stunning industrial space was created through the reconstruction of a former transformer station. Be sure to visit its cafรฉ, which offers an unconventional view of Prague Castle and the Petลรญn Lookout Tower. The cafรฉ also includes a unique cabinet of electrical curios created for Kunsthalle by American artist Mark Dion.
