Becherova vila, Cultural monument and interactive gallery in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

The three-story Becher's Villa features an octagonal corner tower, preserved architectural elements, and Art Deco decorative paintings throughout its interior spaces.

Built between 1913 and 1914 for businessman Gustav Becher, the villa later served as SS headquarters during World War II and became state property after nationalization.

The gallery presents contemporary art exhibitions, workshops, and creative activities, focusing on displaying works from emerging and mid-career artists in multiple spaces.

Visitors can explore the gallery from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with guided tours available at Krále Jiřího 1196/9 in Karlovy Vary.

The 2011 renovation transformed the historical residence into an educational center while preserving original Art Deco murals discovered during reconstruction work.
