The National Gallery in Prague is set to celebrate its 230th anniversary in 2026, with a first-of-its-kind exhibition that encapsulates 230 years of development in art. Launching with a 'comprehensive exhibition' that spans from 1796-1918, visitors can look forward to a series of 17 photographs showcased at the Veletržní Palace, marking a significant moment in the gallery's history.

The article also mentions the upcoming Biennale in Arts, organized by tranzit.cz, which is to return to the National Gallery in the summer. This years’ event will uniquely occupy the Great Hall with a section of the exhibit, which will be free of charge, continuing its tradition of making art accessible. However, a notable change from previous years is the absence of a section in the main library space of the Gallery of the Capital City of Prague, as it shifts to the City Gallery of Pardubice, aiming for a decentralized approach to biennale exhibitions that encourages audiences to visit diverse art projects.

This shift not only enhances engagement for Prague audiences but also provides a platform for art enthusiasts from outside Prague, enhancing access to quality projects. Overall, these changes reflect a significant evolution in how art is presented and consumed in the Czech Republic and push for greater inclusivity within the national art scene.
