Gallery of Modern Art in Hradec Králové is a regional art gallery in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. It is a subsidiary organization of the Hradec Králové Region. It is located in an Art Nouveau building constructed in 1912 according to a design by architect Osvald Polívka as the palace of the Credit – Saving Institute. The main entrance to the building is decorated with monumental sculptures entitled Harvest and Trade by Ladislav Šaloun, while the cornice is supported by three Atlant figures by sculptor František Fabiánek. The original artistic decorations, including stained glass windows, stucco applications, and decorative details, have also been preserved. Between 2014 and 2016, the building underwent extensive reconstruction and modernization of the exhibition spaces. The gallery manages a collection of Czech and foreign fine art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
