Galerie Rudolfinum, Contemporary art museum in Prague, Czech Republic.
Galerie Rudolfinum occupies the northern section of a High Renaissance palazzo and presents rotating exhibitions of modern and contemporary artworks. The rooms spread across multiple floors and offer space for large-scale art displays from international and Czech artists.
The building was constructed in 1876 as an art hall and served briefly as a parliament seat following the founding of Czechoslovakia in 1918. The art gallery was revived in 1994 after decades of political use and has since focused on contemporary international works.
The name derives from Emperor Rudolf II, who supported art collection and display in Prague. Visitors encounter exhibitions that connect contemporary artistic practices with the local art scene.
The building sits in the city center on a pleasant plaza area with good public transport connections. Visitors should note that exhibitions change regularly, so it helps to check ahead about current shows before visiting.
The gallery follows a non-collecting policy, displaying only temporary exhibitions, which sets it apart from many traditional museums. This approach allows it to constantly present new artistic perspectives and experimental work.
Opening Hours: Tuesday-Wednesday,Friday-Sunday 10:00-18:00; Thursday 10:00-20:00
