State galleries to offer free entry on first Sunday of each month

Permanent exhibitions at major state-run institutions, including the National Gallery Prague, Moravian Gallery in Brno and Museum of Art Olomouc, will be free to visit on the first Sunday of each month starting in April. The first such day will fall on April 5. Culture Minister Oto Klempíř (Motorists) said the move is part of a pilot project aimed at making culture more accessible, in line with a pledge by the government of Andrej Babiš (ANO Party). He added that similar free-entry days are common across Europe.
