Northern Bohemian Gallery of Creative Arts, Art museum in Litoměřice, Czech Republic
The Northern Bohemian Gallery of Creative Arts is a museum housed in a historic structure in central Litoměřice displaying artworks spanning Gothic to Renaissance periods. The building contains several specialized collections including a section devoted to Naive Art and religious works from different centuries.
The museum was founded in 1958 as a consolidation of earlier artistic endeavors within this structure that dates back to medieval times. Over the decades, it accumulated artworks from the 14th century onward, establishing it as one of the region's oldest art institutions.
The building started as a residence for wealthy merchants and was repurposed over time to house religious art and collections. Visitors today experience how medieval pieces are displayed within intimate rooms designed for daily life rather than formal exhibition.
The museum is located on Michalská Street in the city center and is easily accessible on foot from nearby attractions. Opening hours vary seasonally with extended schedules during summer months, so it is worth confirming details before your visit.
The collection includes six rare altar panels created by the Master of the Litoměřice Altar, an important medieval artist from the region. These works demonstrate the fine craftsmanship of local artistic production and remain less familiar to visitors than better-known European treasures.
