Lonely Planet review for Mánes Gallery

Spanning a branch of the river beneath a 15th-century water tower is the Mánes Building (1927–30), which houses an art gallery founded in the 1920s by a group of artists, headed by painter Josef Mánes, as an alternative to the Czech Academy of Arts. It is still one of Prague’s best venues for viewing contemporary art, with a lively programme of changing exhibitions. The building itself, designed by Otakar Novotný, is considered a masterpiece of functionalist architecture.
