Kunsthalle Praha is a cutting-edge contemporary art space right in the heart of Prague’s historic city centre. Opened in 2022, this independent, non-profit institution doesn’t have a permanent collection—instead, it offers a constantly changing programme of temporary exhibitions that showcase the most exciting developments in contemporary art from around the world.

The name kunsthalle comes from German and traditionally refers to an “art hall” dedicated to short-term exhibitions, focusing on current artistic trends and sparking conversation. Visitors to Kunsthalle Praha can expect a vibrant, ever-evolving space where creativity, innovation, and dialogue take centre stage—a place to see, experience, and be inspired by the art of today.

Biennale UMPRUM: Generation Z is an exhibition at the National Gallery Prague’s Veletržní palác that showcases the work of the youngest generation of artists and designers from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Part of a biennial cycle, it highlights emerging creative voices and fresh perspectives from the school’s students.

Young artists exploring how this cohort reflects its unique cultural and social experiences, navigates the blurred boundaries between digital and physical realities, expresses themes of identity and self-stylization. The exhibition features a wide range of projects, including installations, video works, and fashion collections, demonstrating the breadth and versatility of contemporary creative practice.

The Divine Stories exhibition is one of the most prominent art events taking place in Prague this season and has drawn significant attention due to the artist behind it, Wolfgang Beltracchi. A highly controversial figure in the art world, Beltracchi presents this exhibition as part of his artistic reinvention.

The works on display are strongly influenced by European Old Masters, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. What makes the exhibition particularly compelling is the contrast between its exploration of authenticity and the artist’s own complex and disputed history.
