The Palazzo Kinský (Palác Kinských), overlooking the charming Old Town Square in Prague, is one of the prestigious venues of the National Gallery in Prague. Built in the 18th century, the building is a refined example of late Baroque-Rococo architecture, famous for its richly decorated facade and privileged position in the heart of the city.
The museum houses a rich collection of Asian and Oriental art, with works from China, Japan, and India, as well as precious artifacts in ceramics, sculptures, textiles, and prints. A section is also dedicated to ancient art and graphics, offering a fascinating journey through different cultures and traditions.
Palazzo Kinský is also a symbolic place in Prague's history: it is where Franz Kafka, one of the most famous literary figures of the 20th century, studied, and to this day, the building remains a cultural reference point for the city.
In addition to the permanent collections, the museum organizes temporary exhibitions, conferences, and educational activities, enriching the experience of every visitor.
Visiting Palazzo Kinský means discovering a unique mix of art, history, and culture in one of Europe's most iconic squares.
