The Myslbek Shopping Gallery is a passage between the New and Old Town connecting the busy street Na Příkopě with Ovocný trh.

The Myslbek building, opened in 1996, bears its name after the famous sculptor Josef Václav Myslbek. On the facade of the building on Na Příkopě street you will find a remarkable metal gate from stainless steel weighing 8 tons. Its two gigantic sliding wings symbolizing the gate between the Old and New Prague open every day and after the closing hours of the shopping gallery they close again. The second gate, designed by Czech sculptor Karel Nepraš and leading to Ovocný trh is interesting because of the bronze heads adorning it. The heads pointing in all directions should symbolize shopping crowds.

The shopping gallery itself is designed as a relaxation shopping space dominated by a circular central space with several restaurants. You can sit and relax, for example, in Café Myslbek, Sushi Point or Pizza Coloseum. After a good meal or drink you can go shopping in stores offering various goods – from cosmetics offered, for example, by the only store of the Greek brand Korres in the Czech Republic or Marionnaud perfumerie, baby and maternity clothes from Mothercare, H&M, which offers limited collections by foremost world fashion designers or very the popular Gant, to the three-story Intersport selling sports goods or the Vagabond shoe store, and many others (Escada Sport, Guess, Pepe Jeans). The entrance to the Myslbek shopping gallery is from Na Příkopě 19-21 and from Ovocný trh 8. The shopping gallery is open every day from 8.30 a.m. till 10 p.m., while the stores open one hour later and close at 8 p.m. On Sunday the opening hours are from 10 a.m. till 7 p.m. For more information click here.
