Housed in a renovated mill building, this gallery is devoted to 20th-century and contemporary art from Central Europe. The highlights of the permanent exhibition are extensive collections of bronzes by Cubist sculptor Otto Gutfreund and paintings by František Kupka, a pioneer of abstract art.
The most impressive canvas is Kupka’s Cathedral, a pleated mass of blue and red diagonals suggesting a curtain with a glimpse of darkness beyond. Outside the museum you can get a close-up look at one of David Černý’s famous crawling babies (the ones that swarm over the TV Tower in Žižkov).
