Permanent exhibition (Medieval Art in Bohemia and Central Europe)
The first part of this exhibition is dedicated to the development of art in Bohemia of mid-14th century. In this period, Bohemia and Prague were important European art centers. In the 15th and 16th century, the tides changed and from being important artistic centers Bohemian cities were more influenced by the works of Central European countries. Both the domestic works of art from this period and those from the Central European countries (with which Bohemia had close ties) are exhibited in the second part of the exhibition.
Temporary exhibitions
Temporary exhibitions with various themes are organized every several months. In order to check what is on right now, visit the website of the National Galley.
