The Czech Museum of Fine Arts (originally the Mid-Bohemian Gallery) was founded in 1963 as a regional gallery. In 1971 three reconstructed historical houses in the Old Town, were opened as the new home of the gallery. They remain the centre of the Czech Museum of Fine Arts, where it also stages temporary exhibitions of 20th-century and contemporary art. The renaissance double-fonted house with Venetian-type gables from the second half of the 16th century is now the main Exposition Hall of the Museum. It is of Gothic origin, renovated with interesting Romanesque interiors below the building.
