Gallery of fine arts in Cheb

The Gallery of Fine Arts in Cheb occupies two adjoining buildings on the central square and displays Czech artworks spanning multiple centuries. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and other artistic forms that reflect the region's creative heritage across different periods.

The gallery was established to preserve and display artistic works from the region, particularly medieval sculptures created in the surrounding area. Over time the institution expanded to include modern and contemporary artworks alongside these historical pieces.

The museum regularly arranges concurrent temporary exhibitions that connect local artistic expressions with broader Czech cultural movements.

Visiting both buildings is straightforward since they sit side by side and can be explored together as one experience. An adjacent Retromuseum displaying design objects from a specific historical period can be accessed with a combined ticket.

The institution maintains a substantial digital database of artworks that researchers and art lovers can study online from anywhere. This makes the collection accessible to a wider audience who may not be able to visit in person.
