Lonely Planet review for Convent of St George

The very ordinary-looking building to the left of the basilica was Bohemia’s first convent, established in 973 by Boleslav II. Closed and converted to an army barracks in 1782, it now a houses a branch of the National Gallery, featuring a collection of 19th-century Bohemian art. Highlights include the Art Nouveau sculpture of Josef Myslbek, Stanislav Sucharda and Bohumil Kafka; the glowing portraits by Josef Mánes; and the forest landscapes by Július Mařák.
