Buildings

Prague City Gallery is presently the sole or partial keeper of seven properties accessible to the public. Soon after its establishment in 1963, the Gallery exhibited a significant collection of sculptures, drawings and graphic works by František Bílek in the artistʼs villa in Prague Hradčany District. In 1994, it received an addition in the form of Bílekʼs permanent exhibition in his native house in Chýnov near Tábor. Yet another art-historical building and, simultaneously, a specific exhibition space managed by the Gallery is the Baroque Troja Château with its French garden, grafting yard and orangery, ranking among the most significant examples of Baroque architecture in the Czech lands. Since 1988, extensive, space-demanding exhibitions have been organized in the Gothic Stone Bell House in the Old Town Square in Prague. Large-scale exhibits have also been hosted by the exhibition halls of the Prague Municipal Library which were originally built for this very purpose. In 2010, the Prague City Gallery became the keeper of the Baroque Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace, and it took over the Prague House of Photography.
