Description was written before the event

An unconventional tour where students themselves shape the programme. Participants select artworks for "their gallery" and prepare a short presentation about each piece. Group discussion explores how medieval artworks were created, who they were made for, which themes were most popular, and their historical significance. The aim is to strengthen critical thinking and develop skills in interpretation, argumentation, and collaboration through visual analysis.

The programme covers works by: the Vyšebrod Cycle, Master Theodoric, the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece, and others.

Target group: Secondary school level 2 | Duration: 120 minutes | Capacity: 12–30 people | Price: 100 CZK / person, 2 teachers free

Today it forms part of the National Gallery Prague and houses the permanent exhibition Medieval Art in Bohemia and Central Europe 1200–1550. Visitors can explore the Oratory of St Agnes, the Shrine of the Saviour, and the Church of St Francis, where the remains of King Wenceslas I are buried.
