The Galerie Rudolfinum started its activities on January 1, 1994 and is a state non-profit institution directed and financed by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. It is located in the back of the Rudolfinum and it is one of the most notable art galleries in Prague.
Josef Zítek and Josef Schulz, architects of the National Theatre in Prague, designed the representative neo-renaissance building of the Rudolfinum, completed in 1884, to house both a concert hall and a gallery. Located in the vicinity of the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Faculty of Philosophy, and the Academy of Decorative Arts, on the edge of the historical city districts Old Town and Lesser Town.
Galerie Rudolfinum's orientation on temporary exhibitions (the gallery has no collection of its own – runs on the princip Kunsthalle), which provides background for a wide range of accompanying programmes, makes it possible to develop several main themes in its program at once.
Currently about a thousand and five hundred square metres of exhibition area are available in the gallery as well as Café Rudolfinum, shop and completely Wheelchair access. Director of the gallery is PhDr. Petr Nedoma.
