This huge grimly palace is now the venue for the National Gallery's Centre for Modern & Contemporary Art. A seven storey building constructed in 1928 by Oldrich Tyl and Josef Furchs is definitely Prague's ultimate functionalist masterpiece. Not too obvious when viewing the exterior but clear to see once inside, where is collection of outstanding 19th - 20th century Czech and European Art.
