National Gallery Prague - Convent of St. Agnes

Amazing medieval monastery which serves as a part of the National Gallery (medieval art). Altarpieces, statues, paintings and even some medieval stained glass windows. Two beautiful churches. Recommend especially during weekdays as there are usually not many people.

Number one on the list of must-see places to visit in Prague. A delightful place steeped in the atmosphere of the real Middle Ages. A unique collection of paintings and sculptures that have no analogues in the world. Particularly amazing atmosphere in the empty church.

Gorgeous, historical place to visit! Great little play area for kids to write with ink and quill, and other things. Super fun and interesting!

When in Prague, an absolute MUST, and strongly recommended is a visit at the splendid Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia Museum (division of the National Gallery, entrances: Na Františku Street or Anežská Street). The collection of medieval art is breathtaking.

An excellent experience for anyone with a genuine passion for medieval history or art history. Thanks in part to the sheer volume of material preserved by this institute, you can see the steady progression and change in artistic styles throughout the ages, as new painters create new variations on the same scene, allowing you to watch art history play out as well as track the evolution of medieval art and wider material culture.

I loved it. The staff were friendly and pleasant, the price was fair and there were so many exhibitions.

Beautiful building complex. Nice gallery. Beautiful gardens and yards.

Mostly medieval and religious art. The museum building is impressive itself close to old town in Prague 🇨🇿. Main room has all walls painted in black. Would have appreciated a different choice of background for the paintings, completely black wall behind each painting in the main rooms just took away from the immersive colorful experience that these works have to offer.

A little difficult to find the entry of the Czech Gothic Pearl the Convent of St. Agnes of Bohemia. The entry is of the other side opposite the Building of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The Convent Gothic building is also large complex and that I needed walk around the building get into through the entry inside. First stop is the souvenir shop of the National Gallery which is the provider of this buildings and the shop has a good products such copies of art pictures for very cheap prices. I framed couple of them and look nice on my house walls. Regards the Convent is date back to 1260 and you feel the atmosphere of the past. Large rooms with high ceilings in Gothic structure were visible and remain centuries the same. The access was open no barriers walk inside around which was good touch and then on second floor is the Art Exhibition which is a unique Art pictures exhibition. I would say one of the best in Prague. In this review, although I attach only the Gothic Convent building photographs from ground floor inside and outside of the building.

Amazing collection of sculptures and paintings. The monastery itself has a super interesting history and is very well preserved. The staff is one of the best we have meet during our trip. They are very kind and helpful. They even tried to help us with a coolpass problem we had. Make sure you pay a visit!

Beautiful old convent - great signage in English. The convent and gardens were free to visit. Highly recommend.

The bigest collection of medieval art in Prague. Extremly rich. The convent building as been well restored. Magestic.
Don't miss the garden, with few contemporary scultpures.
You Can use the pass from narodni gallery of Prague (unlimited acces to the musuems from NG) as i do or buy a ticket straightly in the museum. There is also a shop with books a d goodies.

Great place to discover a piece of important history of Prague. The site is spacious and there are a lot of interesting objects and activities to discover here. Recommended visiting time is around 60-90 minutes.

A very very pleasant experience and a must see if you like medieval art, history or architecture. The monastery is very calm and parts a well transformed into space for the exhibition. The number and beauty of all the paintings and sculptures is astounding. The staff is very nice. The Caffè inside is a not that special nor too good but at least has a very nice and calm location.

Great place, full of history! Moreover, I went rhere yesterday, Friday afternoon, and I had a chance to be there almost alone. I went through a piecefull garden and walked inside building to admire the work of our ancestors.

Quiet, not many visitors. The collection is all about medieval art. If you’re tired of watching renaissance things, it might be a refreshing experience.

Another great one from the National Gallery people. A splendid array of Medieval and Renaissance religious art, thoughtfully and attractively displayed in a historic setting. We were unfamiliar with many of the artists, and it was a huge treat to see many of the Bohemian peers of the better-known (at least by us, before this exhibit) Italian and German artists. You can (as of this writing, fall, 2023) get an NGP pass that gets you into 4 outstanding galleries, including this one, at a reduced rate compared with individual tickets, and I suggest that you go to all four!

Plenty to see in the museum of medieval art, though my favourite part was touring the old churches. Impressive architecture, and fascinating to see how the structure had changed over time.

Amazing place that personally I consider it underrated, at the time I was it was nobody there but me, even though I think it is one of a kind that I strongly recommend for a visit while you're in Prague!definitely a bohemian feeling!

Extremely well preserved religious panel drawings and sculptures dating from the 14th - 16th century. Good descriptions of the progressing styles of artwork. Could take anywhere from a casual interested hour or so to a dedicated 3-4 hours. Good value as well.

Overlooked and under appreciated historical sight!! The artwork here is amazing! Of course it is all religious but the colors are so vibrant. Truly an amazing experience and so glad we stumbled upon it. Easily spent 2hrs just walking the convent and taking all the artwork in. The curator should be commended for the display and arrangement.
