Myšák Gallery, Art gallery in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic
The Myšák Gallery is a building in New Town featuring a striking facade that combines Rondocubism and Renaissance Revival styles. Geometric patterns cover the exterior walls along Vodičkova Street, creating a distinctive appearance.
The building was designed in 1883 by architect Otto Ehlen and underwent a major transformation in 1922 when cubist elements were added. This renovation reflects how architectural trends shifted rapidly during the interwar period.
The building reflects a blend of traditional Renaissance design and modern geometric forms that emerged in early 1900s Prague art. Visitors experience this mix of old and new styles directly when they enter the space.
The building is centrally located on Vodičkova Street with convenient access by public transport. It is easily reached on foot from the Old Town Square and sits in the busy core of New Town.
The building is named after František Myšák, a pastry chef who purchased the property in 1910 and established a renowned confectionery there. This food business use was an important part of the location's local history for many years.
