The Bohemia JazzFest, a major open-air festival that has been bringing together world-class jazz and a unique historical setting for more than two decades, will return to the Royal Garden at Prague Castle in the summer of 2026. Founded in 2005 by guitarist Rudy Linka, the festival is one of Europe’s most prominent jazz events and attracts thousands of visitors to Czech cities every year. The Prague stop of the 21st edition will feature an evening of open-air concerts. All concerts are free and take place in a relaxed summer atmosphere that allows both the music and the venue to shine.

*Famous Organ Concerts* will take place during the 32nd concert season, featuring titles such as *Ave Maria* and other famous arias by Mozart, Bach, Dvořák, Händel, Schubert, Seger, Gounod, Franck or Vivaldi. An evening in the baroque interior of St. Francis of Assisi Church in the heart of Prague, listening to the city’s second oldest organ from 1702, delicately restored to its original baroque tuning. Esteemed Czech musicians perform famous baroque pieces interleaved by other musical treasures. Usually three artists perform at the concerts – soloists of prominent opera and orchestra bodies, pedagogues of the Academy of Music and Drama and Prague Conservatory.

**Post-rock, drone folk, screamo. The third in the series of MeetFactory’s summer concerts will present three emerging projects – C-Pentane, Brána, and itlookssinister – at the Factory’s backyard outdoor stage on Tuesday, July 14.** C-Pentane is a Prague-based band whose monumental sound oscillates between post-folk and post-rock, blending fragility with urgency. With a lineup of guitar, drums, cello, and violin, they create compositions filled with hope, tension, and longing. Their debut EP, released on the Kladno cassette tape label Věžáky Records, will be launched as part of this show at MeetFactory. Not only for fans of midwest emo, caroline, or Black Country, New Road. Brána, a drone-folk duo with Moravian roots, dives into the endless depths of hypnotic repetition, with subtle references to folk motifs. They paint a picture of beauty, horror, and the strange art of waiting – and will present new material for the very first time. “Everything falls off me, and then I fall too.” The only current Czech-Slovak emo band whose members’ average age doesn’t exceed twenty, make their debut appearance for the Prague audience. itlookssinister is a fresh Košice-based screamo quintet that released a striking debut record which caught attention not only on the Czech-Slovak scene but also in Asia. A more modern and technical approach to raw 90s screamo songwriting structures, combined with heart-wrenching lyrics, clearly shows this is not just another meaningless Orchid fan club.

This exhibition complements the permanent exhibition Old Masters in the Schwarzenberg Palace. Together, the exhibitions form a coherent whole, while presenting the artworks in different contexts.

The permanent exhibition on the third floor of the Trade Fair Palace was created on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia. Based on the collections of the National Gallery Prague, complemented with loans from institutions and private collections, the exhibition introduces the rich and cosmopolitan art scene in the young independent Czechoslovakia between 1918 and 1938. The new exhibition of the National Gallery’s collections presents rich artistic activities of the young state in 1918–1938. Besides the paintings by prominent Czech, Slovak, Czech-German and Carpathian-Russian artists (Václav Špála, Josef Čapek, Jindřich Štyrský, Toyen etc.), are also shown the artworks from the National Gallery’s French collection (by Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Henri Rousseau, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and others).

The exhibition 1796–1918: Art of the Long Century purposefully and naturally connects Czech and international art. Unlike the preceding permanent exhibitions at the National Gallery Prague, the artworks on display do not include any loans from other museums and galleries filling the gaps in the collections. The project does not seek to present another art historical review and re-codify key artworks produced in the Czech Lands in the 19th century. Such approach necessarily neglects the works, which were purchased for or donated to the National Gallery Prague from other European regions and also had a major influence on the local situation and development on the art scene. Instead, the exhibition shows what the National Gallery Prague has amassed in the course of its more than 220-year-long history in the broad context. Therefore, the artists are naturally represented in an uneven manner – with compact and representative sets on one hand, and more or less haphazardly acquired or occasional acquisitions on the other.

The permanent exhibition Old Masters in the Schwarzenberg Palace presents selected key artworks from the Collection of Old Masters (Hans von Aachen, Petr Brandl, Matthias Bernard Braun, Lucas Cranach, Adriaen de Vries, Albrecht Dürer, El Greco, Francisco José Goya, Hans Holbein, Jan Gossaert, also known as Jan Mabuse, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jusepe de Ribera, Peter Paul Rubens, Bartholomaeus Spranger, Karel Škréta, Simon Vouet, Michael Leopold Willmann and others).
