# Diaristic songwriting, avid DIY approach in their home studios and beyond, and the same live band link musicians Lenka Zbořilová (pivoňka) and Zdeněk Lichnovský. Yet their music sounds as if it comes from two different worlds, as you can experience for yourself at the fourth outdoor concert of the summer season in MeetFactory’s backyard. The two will be joined by bassist Michal Zlatkovský on Thursday, July 23. Lenka Zbořilová already appeared on the local music scene with her former project ivy z. Now she’s starting a new chapter as pivoňka, featuring Czech songs written late at night in Prague and Veselí nad Moravou. The project’s debut album, titled *co se stalo na obloze nikomu neřeknem*, consists of 17 short songs inspired by dreams, uncertainties, cities, and the stories of people around her. *“It’s still slowcore, sometimes slower than slow. The album is about good and bad decisions, big cities, and the cities within us.”* Zdeněk Lichnovský loves writing quirky songs and collaborating on them with his friends, both live and in the studio. All of this is made possible with the label Bad Names which has released two of his albums (plus one single). His new release, the album *Pustim Mitski a zavřu se doma*, pays homage to the raw sound of a home piano, screaming guitars, exaggerated bass riffs, Cyril Kaplan’s wonderfully free-spirited drums and stone cold, truthful vocals of Lenka Zbořilová. Live, the trio condenses everything into a narrative format of dialogue between the voices of Lenka Zbořilová and Zdeněk Lichnovský, accompanied by Michal Zlatkovský on bass guitar.

Get ready for soulful melodies and heartfelt storytelling from one of the greatest jazz singers of all time. Join us for an unforgettable evening as we pay tribute to the iconic Billie Holiday and experience the magic of her timeless music!

The exhibition 1796–1918: Art of the Long Century purposefully and naturally connects Czech and international art. Unlike the preceding permanent exhibitions at the National Gallery Prague, the artworks on display do not include any loans from other museums and galleries filling the gaps in the collections. The project does not seek to present another art historical review and re-codify key artworks produced in the Czech Lands in the 19th century. Such approach necessarily neglects the works, which were purchased for or donated to the National Gallery Prague from other European regions and also had a major influence on the local situation and development on the art scene. Instead, the exhibition shows what the National Gallery Prague has amassed in the course of its more than 220-year-long history in the broad context. Therefore, the artists are naturally represented in an uneven manner – with compact and representative sets on one hand, and more or less haphazardly acquired or occasional acquisitions on the other.

The permanent exhibition Old Masters in the Schwarzenberg Palace presents selected key artworks from the Collection of Old Masters (Hans von Aachen, Petr Brandl, Matthias Bernard Braun, Lucas Cranach, Adriaen de Vries, Albrecht Dürer, El Greco, Francisco José Goya, Hans Holbein, Jan Gossaert, also known as Jan Mabuse, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jusepe de Ribera, Peter Paul Rubens, Bartholomaeus Spranger, Karel Škréta, Simon Vouet, Michael Leopold Willmann and others).

The permanent exhibition on the third floor of the Trade Fair Palace was created on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia. Based on the collections of the National Gallery Prague, complemented with loans from institutions and private collections, the exhibition introduces the rich and cosmopolitan art scene in the young independent Czechoslovakia between 1918 and 1938. The new exhibition of the National Gallery’s collections presents rich artistic activities of the young state in 1918–1938. Besides the paintings by prominent Czech, Slovak, Czech-German and Carpathian-Russian artists (Václav Špála, Josef Čapek, Jindřich Štyrský, Toyen etc.), are also shown the artworks from the National Gallery’s French collection (by Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Henri Rousseau, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and others).

This exhibition complements the permanent exhibition Old Masters in the Schwarzenberg Palace. Together, the exhibitions form a coherent whole, while presenting the artworks in different contexts.
