Myšák Gallery, Shopping centre 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 centre takes its name from the confectioner František Myšák, whose cake shop still operates in the historic Dům u Myšáka. Since 2019 the building has also housed Pavel Kožíšek's Museum of Fantastic Illusions, with over 150 interactive exhibits on optical illusions and large-format trick images.
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 shopping centre opened in 2007 and is named after the confectioner František Myšák, whose same-named café still operates in the historic Dům u Myšáka. Since 2019 the centre has also housed Pavel Kožíšek's Museum of Fantastic Illusions, with over 150 interactive optical-illusion exhibits.
