GALERIE MARIENBAD
Galerie Marienbad is located within the historic setting of the renowned colonnade in Mariánské Lázně. The particular appeal of this location lies in the dialogue between 19th-century architecture and contemporary art.
The gallery’s programme focuses on contemporary visual art with an international outlook.
On the first floor of the colonnade, visitors will discover a newly restored exhibition space featuring striking 1970s architecture. With an exhibition area of 250 m², it provides a distinctive setting in which to experience art.
The gallery also includes a screening room where visitors can watch a film about the life and work of the featured artist. In the Art Cabinet, we present works by several contemporary artists and designers.
The sculpture Mysteries of Love by German artist Jeff Beer stands directly outside the gallery entrance, symbolically inviting visitors in and welcoming them to the gallery.

Antonín Střížek: Everyday Celebrations
The exhibition Everyday Celebrations presents Antonín Střížek as an attentive observer of scenes that are often utterly ordinary, yet at the same time possess a poetry of their own. Known for his idyllic landscapes and urban still lifes, the painter and photographer creates images imbued with a subtle sense of reverie and nostalgia. This almost theatrical quality also emerges, with a touch of magic, in his latest series of Bauhaus paintings, which develops his earlier explorations of geometric forms. This time, however, he introduces a narrative element. The series was inspired by the Triadic Ballet, the celebrated avant-garde dance work created in 1916 by German artist, choreographer and Bauhaus figure Oskar Schlemmer.
Antonín Střížek was born in Rumburk and spent his childhood in Ostrava-Poruba. He studied at the Secondary School of Applied Arts in Prague and, from 1983 to 1988, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where he later headed Painting Studio III for five years. Today, he lives and works in Prague and Milovice. Over the course of his career, he has held dozens of solo exhibitions in the Czech Republic and abroad, and his work is represented in the collection of the National Gallery Prague as well as in other major international collections.
