Description

Founded in 1953, the Gallery of West Bohemia houses one of the Czech Republic’s most important collections of visual art – 10,000 graphic, painted and sculptural works, with an emphasis on Czech art of the late 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries. The collection includes works by the great figures of Czech modernism, Bohumil Kubista, Emil Filla, Otto Gutfreund, Toyen and Josef Síma. Director Roman Musil’s personal selection of highlights has been made as the Gallery looks forward to a move into new, state-of-the-art premises that will allow the collection to expand further and cement Pilsen’s reputation as one of Czech Republic’s most attractive and exciting cultural destinations.

Aso available in a Czech edition
