Anezsky monastery and exhibition of medieval art

Anežský klášter, Klaster sv. Anezky, Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia
Czech republic, Prague
The monastery in Prague, founded in 1233-1234, is located in the Stare Mesto district. Since 1963, it has also housed an exhibition of medieval art from the Prague National Gallery. The complex, in particular, includes 3 churches, a chapel, a royal necropolis, and several less significant buildings. The Czech King Wenceslas I and many other members of the royal family are buried in Anezsky Monastery. Almost the entire monastery is available for inspection, there are paid tours of the monastery.

The exhibition part consists of more than 200 paintings and sculptures of the medieval art of Central Europe. On the lower floor there is a “hands-on” exhibition of Czech Gothic sculpture – copies of the works of famous masters can be felt with your hands.

In fact, this monastery is part of the national gallery, although geographically distant from it. Built in the Gothic style, it has collected a collection of Czech medieval art. You will be stunned by the beauty of these works, especially from the 14th century. Humanity in paintings and sculptures, as for me, is presented much brighter and more exciting than in Italian creations of the Middle Ages. In one room, a painting by Vyshebrodsky “The Cycle of the Life of Christ” is shown - this is truly a masterpiece! The art gallery is really outstanding - spacious rooms and well-lit paintings, arranged in chronological order, make it possible to fully enjoy the art of that time.
