Gallery of fine arts in Cheb, Art museum in central square, Cheb, Czech Republic.

The Gallery of Fine Arts in Cheb is housed in the Radniční palác (Town Hall Palace) on náměstí Krále Jiřího z Poděbrad. Its permanent exhibition on the second floor holds Gothic sculptures from the Cheb region and a collection of Czech modern art from the 19th to 21st centuries. Since 2016 the neighbouring Schiller House has held the Retromuseum, devoted to post-war design and lifestyle.

The State Gallery of Fine Arts in Cheb was founded in 1962 with art historian Mira Mladějovská, who had directed the city's picture gallery from 1950 to 1955. Its initial holdings came from the Cheb Museum and from collections salvaged from damaged buildings in the borderlands, including Gothic sculptures of local origin. The painter Bojmír Hutta became its first director, and from the mid-1960s the gallery built its own collection of Czech modern art. In 2001 it passed under the administration of the Karlovy Vary Region.

Since 2004 the gallery has run the symposium Gaps in History – Lücken in der Geschichte, devoted to German-speaking artists active in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia until 1945; since 2012 it alternates with Liberec. From 2009 to 2016 it also held the Graffiti Boom festival, with large-format murals by Jan Kaláb, Masker and Tron.

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 gallery's Graffiti Boom festival, launched in 2009, brought street artists to paint large-format murals in public space; contributors included Jan Kaláb (POINT), Jakub Matuška (MASKER) and Michal Škapa (TRON). The festival ran until 2016 with support from the Ministry of Culture and the city of Cheb.
