Galérie Benedikta Rejta, Art gallery in Louny, Czech Republic
The Galérie Benedikta Rejta occupies a renovated former brewery building with multiple exhibition spaces showing contemporary and geometric abstract works. The venue provides spacious areas for different art forms and rotating exhibitions.
The gallery was founded in 1966, initially building on collections from the District Museum. During the 1970s and 1980s, it grew substantially and became an important arts center for the region.
The gallery displays works that shaped Czech art from the mid-20th century onward. Visitors see how artists engaged with geometric forms and modern expression during this period.
The building is located on Pivovarská Street and can be reached easily on foot from the town center. The gallery offers guided tours and workshops, so it helps to check in advance when events are scheduled.
The gallery's founding in 1966 was formally justified by the need to transfer the Emil Filla memorial hall at Peruc chateau from the Litoměřice gallery's administration. It also took over the care of Oskar Brázda's paintings at Líčkov chateau. The new institution was one of the last of its kind created before 1989.
