The exhibition reveals the transformations of the royal district at Vyšehrad – from the residence of the first Czech king and symbol of royal power, through a military fortress, to a spiritual and national symbol. The exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the royal district at Vyšehrad not only through carefully selected exhibits but also through period graphic views and photographs, reconstruction drawings, and physical models. Visitors can discover how the appearance of the royal district has changed over the centuries, from the earliest prehistoric settlements to the present day.

The gunpowder storage was constructed in the second half of the 17th century, partially on the foundations of a medieval assembly palace. During Vyšehrad’s period under military administration, it served as a gunpowder storage facility. From 1990 to 2022, it was used as the Vyšehrad Gallery.
TIP: While you’re in the area, don’t miss the colony of Cubist houses, which is also located nearby, just below Vyšehrad.
