Overview
The City Gallery Prague occupies the second floor of the Municipal Library on Mariánské náměstí, a building designed by architect František Roith between 1925 and 1928. This space represents a marriage between 20th-century Rationalist architecture and dedicated exhibition programming. The building itself is a notable site, adorned with allegorical sculptures by Ladislav Kofránek and featuring interior details composed of brass, stone, and geometric ornamentation by František Kysela. Since 1992, the gallery has used this venue to host high-quality exhibitions, and visitors can now access the space through a modern entrance designed by Vlado Milunić on Valentinská street. It serves as a quiet, professional environment for those looking to engage with visual arts in a historically rich setting.
