Prague museums and galleries launch cooperative discount initiative

From Monday, July 15, selected galleries and museums in central Prague will offer discounted admission prices through a cooperative project. The initiative, known as the Cultural Mile (Kulturní míle) project, kicks off with the participation of major six institutions in the city center.

Visitors to any one of these locations will receive a 20 percent discount on admission to the others over the following six days. The project aims to highlight Prague's visual arts scene and attract more visitors to art institutions, and draws attention to the accessibility of major art venues within a short distance of each other in the city center.

Participating venues for the launch of the project include Prague City Museum at Clam-Gallas Palace, Prague City Gallery on the second floor at the Municipal Library, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, Rudolfinum Gallery, Kunsthalle Praha, and Museum Kampa. Only the Rudolfinum Gallery is excluded from the discount system as entry there has been free of charge since 2019.

"I am extremely happy that the Cultural Mile project was successfully brought to this finish line by the joint efforts of all involved institutions and the City of Prague," Prague Deputy Mayor Jiří Pospíšil states through a press release.

"It is a great step that finally brings to Prague the concept of connected galleries and museums, which has been operating elsewhere in Europe for some time and has proven itself very well. This unification of art institutions in the very center of the city will not only increase the accessibility and visibility of fine art for visitors, but will also bring benefits to the galleries and museums themselves."

"Discounted admission for those who visit at least one of the six participating institutions is exactly what we need to support and revive cultural life in our metropolis. I believe that in the end each of us will appreciate it."

The Cultural Mile project underscores Prague's high concentration of quality exhibition venues in its city center, encouraging visitors to combine a stroll along the Vltava with visits to these cultural hubs to discover artistic treasures.
