NATIONAL GALLERY PRAGUE - NÁRODNÍ GALERIE PRAHA
The National Gallery Prague was founded in 1796 and is one of the world's oldest public art galleries and one of the largest museums in Central Europe.
The gallery's collections are not housed in a single location. They are showcased in a number of historic buildings within the city of Prague, as well as other localities. The largest of the gallery sites is the Trade Fair Palace (Veletržní Palác), which houses the National Gallery's collection of Modern and Contemporary Art. Other important exhibition spaces are located in the Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia, the Kinský Palace, the Salm Palace, the Schwarzenberg Palace, the Sternberg Palace, and the Wallenstein Riding School.
Presently, the National Gallery Prague is offering virtual visits of its collections. Consult the National Gallery's website.
The number of individual works available for viewing is quite enormous. On this webpage, it is possible to choose a collection within a particular historical period, works of an individual artist, or view specific artistic techniques and materials.
Since it is not indicated for how long this free virtual experience will be available (maybe only during the pandemic?), do not hesitate to visit the National Gallery Prague website before this offer might be retracted.
