The building is very large, airy and full of light. A nice example of functionalism. There are usually numerous high-quality exhibitions, the staff is friendly and the cafe at the ground floor has good, relaxed atmosphere and very tasty servings at affordable price. Easy to access from the center by tram. Highly recommended.

We visited the Moscow Gothic exhibition as well as the free exhibition.
The Moscow Gothic was very well structured and interesting. The artists background and motives were well described and connected with the art pieces. Definitely worth a visit and the small fee.
The free exhibition had great pieces from different collections in a good setting. Here the structure was less apparent than in the artist exhibition but still very interesting.
The staff was friendly and the museum was easy to reach with the tram.
Sadly some parts were exclusively in Czech, but that didn't undermine the experience greatly.

This (the Veletrzni Palac) is easily the most under-rated and from the (many) times I've been there over the last 20 years, the most under-visited major art museum in Europe, probably because of its location outside Prague Old Town. The collection, and semi-permant display, following a re-hang, is modern and predominantly (as you would expect) Czech. This three-floor exhibition has been re-arranged superbly and, unless you have been before, you should expect art from the last 150 years that you have not seen previously. To really see what is in this building you need around six hours - I did it in three wet afternoons at roughly two hours per floor. Or you could do a whole day including coffees, lunch and a well-deserved pre-dinner drink in the modern and super popular cafe. Go! A tram stops close by or the Vltava metro stop is only a few minutes walk. A tip on the cost, you can buy a combined year long friends ticket which gives unlimited access and is excellent value, particularly if you want to do this site and others over a few days. Remember too, the mediaeval branch in Josefov, the fine arts one near the Castle, the temporary exhibitionat the Kinsky on Old Town Square and so on, all of which are worth a look.

We went to the gallery on the North side of the river a bit out of the centre.
The gallery’s thematic structuring is some of the best I’ve seen, with really interesting parallels made between works in different styles and from different eras. There were works by all the great French impressionists, a surprising number of Picassos and many excellent Czech artists I had never come across. Good mix of paintings and sculptures.
Very quiet October when we went.
We’ll worth the trip.

It is difficult to review "Narodni Galerie Praha" because the museum has several locations, each with different offerings. Not that the museum's website is very helpful in helping you understand which location has what exhibits and when they are available. Lord knows, that would be too much to ask! So, prepare yourself for some disappointment, depending on which location you visit and your expectations. For instance, in you go to the centrally located Kinsky Palace location expecting artwork that the museum's website says is located there and which the museum uses in its marketing only to find the an, checks notes, ice hockey exhibition is the only thing on display and that the the art in question will be displayed again only God knows when, well, the joke is on you. Even the woman at the ticket counter agreed the website is garbage and is not to be trusted. So, obviously I had a disappointing experience at Kinsky Palace. All that said, the Trade Fair Palace is excellent! The collection of Czech artists in the permanent collection were truly stunning, but you will also see work by artists that you do know. I was truly impressed and so pleased by the experience at the Trade Fair Palace, only to have my day come crashing down at the Kinsky Palace. Five stars for the former and zero for the latter, hence my review of "average."

Large museum located in an architecturally interesting former industrial building. An enormous collection of 19th and 20th art, not only from Czech visual artists, but also from European greats such as Delacroix, Picasso, Rodin, etc. The collection is excellently arranged by style period, spread over 5 very spacious floors. A delight, this museum .. too much interesting work to see everything in one day.

Have spent an exciting lunch with daughter in this museum. You can spend a good 2-3 hours there.
Great building and various exhibitions.
Especially for Western Europeans new insights into Czech art, architecture and crafts of the last 200 years even after the Second World War.
Nice cafe, delicious cakes, very nice staff.
Recommended!

The location is little out side of central area.
It is nice place to visit. Most of arts are from Czech artists. It is big place so it will take sometime to look all floors.
There are cafe, but it was crowded when I went there around 3pm.
After you buy a ticket, you need to all your belongings to lockers. You need 10 kc.
There is toilets you don't need to pay.

There a lot of Národní Galeries in Prague however Trade Fair Palace at Holešovice is # 1 among all of them. Real Stendhal's Syndrom in art if you love art. Picasso, Rodin, Gogh, Monet, Degas, Klimt, Kupka, Liska, Filla. Renoir ... worth a travel to Holešovice. Remember is at Holešovice . Please, do not get confusse for comments from different Narodni Galleries.

Based on all the fantastic reviews...everywhere, we headed up to see the Slav Epic on May 16, 2015. No such luck. We were greeted with a sign and instructions on entry that the exhibit is now closed until further notice! Huge disappointment, no indication as to when it will reopen. The rest of the museum is open...but let's be real...this is the gem and it's closure is a huge loss.
Anyone knowing the basis of the closure and when anticipated to reopen please post!

Is it allowed to take pictures inside the gallery?
Written July 21, 2019
Yes it is. I took many pictures and the museum staff made no objection at all. There was still only one painting, on loan from another gallery, that had a “do not photograph” sign.

In questo museo, nella sede del Trade Fair Palace, sono visitabili le opere del XIX e XX Secolo ed in particolare gli Autoritratti del Doganiere Rousseau e di Picasso ed anche la Sitzende Frau di Schiele?...

Здравствуйте! Советую вам по информации проведения экспозиций конкретных художественных работ предварительно обратиться к официальному сайту музея. По своему опыту могу сказать, например, что работу Эгона Шилле (Egon Schiele - Seated Woman with Bent Knees), если о ней идет речь, удалось увидеть в ходе совместной выставки Шилле и Климта в Праге в 2018г., выставка проходила на 4 этаже. Дополнительно скажу, что на момент нашего посещения некоторые этажи музея были закрыты, так что не все работы других художников удалось увидеть (временное закрытие доступа к экспозициям - такая особенность этой художественной галереи). Если вас интересуют конкретные работы конкретных художников, то уточняйте информацию лучше в музее на конкретное время вашего посещения. Желаю удачи.

Здравствуйте. Скажите, пожалуйста, смогу ли я увидеть картины Славянской эпопеи А. Мухи в срок с 6.05.19 по 8.05.19?
Written March 29, 2019
Здравствуйте! Посоветую вам самый лучший способ узнать о времени проведения той или иной выставки и режима работы музея - это обратиться к его официальному сайту. Сайт Национальной галереи (несколько музеев) в целом понятен. А непосредственно перед посещением выставки можно дополнительно еще раз уточнить распорядок работы. Удачи!

Written December 20, 2017
so I was wondering, when I looked at the gallery website there are multiple galleries that confused me and I would like to visit the one that has Van Gogh paintings and other ones from the same time period so in which gallery that would be?
Written December 14, 2017
The National Gallery is called Veletrzni Palac. It is definitely my favourite in Prague. It is home to some amazing paintings of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. I only found one Van Gogh "Green Corn". Lots of Gauguin, Picasso, Seurat, Rouault, Matisse, Braque, bronzes by Bourdelle and may by Rodin, Derain, Suzanne Valadon, Rousseau, Chagall, Leger, van Dongen, Bonnard, Dufy, Utrillo, Orthon Friesz. A magnificent Toulouse Lautrec but ruined by light from a window opposite. You must also visit the modern (international) floor. Paintings by Edvard Munch (before he started "screaming) and Klimt (before he discovered gold), Kandinsky, Max Oppenheimer, Bernard Buffet. Lovely little cafe on the ground floor. I really recommend going to this gallery, even though it's a little way out of the way. Worth it
