Prague City Gallery
Prague City Gallery (GHMP) was established in 1963 as part of Czechoslovakia’s network of regional galleries. Today, it administers a collection of more than 16,000 items from the 19th to the 21st centuries. In the past, this collection was characterized by an unsystematic approach to acquisitions, which were initially done by the city itself upon recommendations by its experts. In addition, numerous leading artists donated works of their choosing to the city as part of initial efforts at accelerating the establishment of a municipal gallery. Despite all previous endeavors, such a gallery was not established until during the communist era, when the creation of a Prague gallery was seen as a way of presenting the city as a vanguard of the communist party’s cultural policies.
