National Gallery in Prague - Kinský Palace

The Kinský Palace, or Palác Kinských, brings an 18th-century Rococo palace into the middle of Prague’s National Gallery story. Since 1796, it has been tied to the National Gallery in Prague, and today Národní galerie v Praze uses it for collections of Asian and African art, plus 19th-century Czech and European painting. That mix gives the palace a surprisingly wide reach, from European academic art to works from much farther afield. The building also belongs to the Historic Centre of Prague, a UNESCO World Heritage site inscribed in 1992 under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi), and in German it’s known as the Palais Goltz-Kinsky.
