building and art museum of the National Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic

The Trade Fair Palace is a functionalist building in Prague-Holešovice, Czech Republic. It currently serves as the largest gallery site of the National Gallery Prague. It was originally constructed in 1925 to serve as a hall for trade fairs; however, it was closed after a six-day-long fire broke out in 1974. Soon after the fire, it was given to the National Gallery Prague and finally reopened in 1995. The building is notable as the first functionalist building in Prague and the largest functionalist building at the time of its construction.
