Ongoing events
If not stated otherwise, all events are held at Montmartre Gallery (7 Řetězová, Prague 1).
Thematic exhibitions
We exhibit photographs, for example, from the pre-November era and from the dissent era, the art of people from Havel’s circle. Our exhibitions are related to certain historical dates or generally to important events that simply should not be forgotten.
Theatre performances
Montmartre Gallery sometimes serves as a theatre stage. There have been shows performed by the Czechoslovak Marionette Theatre, the Disman Radio Ensemble, and the Belarus Free Theatre.
Discussions and conferences
At least twice a year, we hold discussions and small conferences linked to Václav Havel’s life and thinking. We also offer our premises to the so called “Amálie”, a discussion series named after a villa, belonging to the forest district of Lány where President Václav Havel held discussion meetings focused on various areas of social, political and cultural life. Altogether 77 meetings were held there under his presidency. This tradition has been revived in the Václav Havel Library by Michal Kocáb, who currently holds these friendly meetings.
To all citizens – appeal
„If, at a given moment, you find it more appropriate to act like Hus, then act like Hus, but if, on the other hand, you feel it’s more effective to act like Švejk, then act like Švejk.“
Václav Havel:
To all citizens – appeal
August 26, 1968
