Introduction
The National Gallery in Prague is the Czech Republic's largest art institution, with its flagship venue in the monumental functionalist Trade Fair Palace. The collection spans nineteenth-century art to the present, pairing Czech modernists such as Mucha and Kupka with Monet, Picasso and Rodin. Light-flooded halls and a vast atrium make browsing genuinely enjoyable, and for travellers who want more than castles and squares, it offers the deepest dive into Czech art anywhere in the city.
