Gallery of Western Bohemia, Research institution and museum in Plzeň, Czech Republic

The Gallery of Western Bohemia shows its collections in two halls on Pražská Street in Plzeň. The Masné krámy hall occupies a Gothic meat market built in 1392 and used for that purpose until the mid-20th century; the "13" hall is a Gothic-Renaissance house at Pražská 13, opened in 1997, which also houses the gallery's directorate.

The gallery was founded in 1954, continuing the work of the Pilsen Museum of Applied Arts, and until 1972 it was housed within the Pilsen museum building. Oldřich Kuba directed it from 1954 to 1985. It became fully independent in 1972, when the Masné krámy hall opened; the "13" hall followed in 1997.

The collection covers Czech art from the 14th to the 18th century, the 19th century, the first half of the 20th century and contemporary work, with pieces by Karel Purkyně, Mikoláš Aleš, Antonín Slavíček, Emil Filla, Václav Špála and Adriena Šimotová. In the Masné krámy hall, regular concerts and educational events accompany the exhibitions.

Both exhibition halls stand on Pražská Street: Masné krámy and the "13" hall a short walk apart, so they can be visited in one outing. The gallery's management and gallery-work department are housed in the Pražská 13 building. Masné krámy also hosts regular concerts and educational events alongside exhibitions.

During the 1990s reconstruction of the Gothic-Renaissance house at Pražská 13, workers uncovered a late-Gothic painted wooden ceiling in the ground-floor rooms, a type rarely found in Bohemia. It can still be seen in the building that now houses the gallery's management.
