Dear visitors,
In 2026 we will be celebrating 100 years since the opening of the House of Art. We are already preparing for this anniversary by planning a range of exhibitions and accompanying events, and this year we are launching a major renovation of our listed historic building. In recent years we have renovated the windows, the basement areas, the roofs and the air conditioning system. Now we will be making numerous additional improvements, including a full renovation of the vestibule and brand-new toilet facilities. The interior will be completely repainted, and the security systems will be modernized. We carefully considered whether it would be possible to make these improvements while still keeping the gallery open and operating as normal – but eventually we had to conclude that this would not be possible, so unfortunately the House of Art will have to be closed to visitors from 21 July until the end of this year.
When we re-open, we will be inviting to you a brand-new exhibition of Czech modernism including works by Bohumila Kubišta, Emil Filla and Josef Čapek (from the gallery's extensive collections) as well as a range of additional events inspired by the House of Art's 100th birthday.
