In 1994 the Czech Museum of Fine Arts opened the newly reconstructed House of the Black Madonna in Celetná St, Prague. This important monument of modern architecture, built in 1911-1912 by Josef Gočár, became the venue for a permanent exhibition of Czech Cubism (4th and 5th floors). The other three floors provided a venue for temporary exhibitions of Czech art and that of other countries, in particular art of the first half of the 20th century. The Czech Museum of Fine Arts finished its exhibition programmed at the House of the Black Madonna on January 30th 2002. The museum is currently reconstructing the former Jesuit College and its grounds in the historical town of Kutná Hora, some 60 kilometers east of Prague, as a new centre for its activities. The Kutná Hora Arts Centre is due to open in 2005.
