The Galerie Rudolfinum (part of The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra) 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, and has its seat in the reconstructed building of Rudolfinum,
J. Zítek and J. 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 exclusive 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. Within the few years of its operation, Galerie Rudolfinum has acquired a firm position on Czech art scene.
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.
