Description
The West Bohemian Gallery in Pilsen is one of the Czech Republic's foremost institutions for exhibitions, collections and cultural preservation. With a diverse collection comprising more than 13,000 paintings, graphics and sculptural works of art, architectural designs, models, drawings and photographs, it is a cornerstone of artistic heritage.
The gallery's main exhibition spaces are housed within a former medieval meat market - one of the typical symbols of the city of Pilsen - and alongside three adjacent buildings, it not only accommodates exhibition and collection activities but facilitates research, restoration, library services, art promotion and international collaborations.
The Gallery of West Bohemia also manages the Semler Residence, which was created according to the design of the world-renowned architect Adolf Loos and after his death was realised by his close associate and pupil Heinrich Kulka. Following a decade-long endeavour of careful restoration, Semler Residence was opened to the public in a form that preserves its original essence, securing its place among the Czech Republic's most important architectural interwar landmarks.
