The Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen is the most significant gallery institution in the Pilsen region, founded in 1954. It occupies two historic buildings on Pražská Street: the Masné krámy exhibition hall (a Gothic building from 1392, converted into a gallery in 1972) and the "13" exhibition hall in a Gothic-Renaissance house. The collection holds over 10,000 works spanning the 14th century to the present, including a notable cubism collection. The gallery hosts exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and educational programmes.
