The picture gallery of the Premonstrates’ monastery at Strahov presents significant pieces of graphic art of the 14th - 19th centuries, installed in beautiful interiors of the Strahov monastery, in a specially arranged upper cloister of the heavenly yard. As early as in the 18th century, the Premonstrates’ monastery owned valuable collections of arts. In 1836, Abbot Jeroným Josef Zeidler established a monastery picture gallery from them, which then kept growing until 1950, when the entire monastery was abolished by the communist regime, and the precious pieces of art were dispersed in galleries and collections of other institutions. November 1989 brought about restitution of the church property, which allowed for the return of the precious collections to the Strahov monastery. The collection was renewed, a new exposition was arranged, and it was presented to public in the Strahov Picture Gallery in 1993. The public can admire 99 top quality paintings and sculptures of the collection on the first floor of the monastery’s cloister.
