Things to do in Prague, Bohemia: The Best Art Galleries
The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

If you want to visit Narodni Gallery Praha you need to know in advance what you want to see because there are several locations. We chose to visit Trade Fair Palace. It's a little far from the city centre and the hotel where we were staying, but we got there easily using the tram. The building that houses the museum was built in the early 20th century and rebuilt with difficulty after a massive fire in 1974. The interior space has wide openings and an indoor elevator, overlooking this space, connects the floors. Collections are organized very professionally, during periods and current, offering the public works from the mid-1700s to the present. It was a delight to discover the outstanding works of many Czech artists that I did not know about until this visit. When we visited the Galleries, a temporary exhibition was dedicated to Alberto Giacometti. It was a real privilege to admire so many of the artist's creations gathered in one place. For art lovers, Narodni Galerie Gallery is an outstanding place.
3. Troja Chateau
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 273 reviews
Troja Château echoes the opulent Roman suburban villas and thanks to its location and vast gardens offers easily reachable rest from the hectic city centre. The construction of the early Baroque château began in 1679 and the project was executed by an architect of French origin, Jean Baptiste Mathey. The sculptural decoration of the two-armed staircase leading to the garden was entrusted to the Dresden artists Georg and Paul Hermanns. This monumental sculptures symbolize the Titans fighting the Classical gods, allegories of periods of the day and year and allegories of continents. The Flemish painters Abraham and Isk Godyns were summoned to execute the illusive decoration of the large main hall. Troja Château and its gardens also hosts short-term exhibitions of contemporary art which are adapted to the specific character of the space.

The visit to the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art proved to be an inspired choice. It's a little far from the city centre and the hotel where we were staying, but we got there easily using the tram. The museum is organized in a former factory. It is a new museum, opened in 2008, thanks to an independent initiative. Visitors can admire contemporary fine art created by mainly Czech artists. Works by international artists can also be seen, depending on the museum's activity program. I particularly liked the airship on the roof (Gulliver Airship), a totally unusual space that can accommodate various artistic activities.

I went to view Mucha's Slav Epic (which was housed there at the time) and got elatedly blind-sided by the shear quantity and quality of this beautifully curated museum. A remarkable collection when I viewed it in 2013. Paintings contemporaneous with periods of art from Western Europe are every bit as compelling and well-crafted as the familiar favorites we westerners grew up with.
