Culture Minister Oto Klempíř of the Motorists party dismissed Alicja Knastová, general director of the National Gallery Prague, on Thursday, March 19. The gallery's spokesperson, Jana Holcová, confirmed the information. Knastová, a Polish cultural manager who became the first foreigner to head the Prague National Gallery, will not complete her mandate.

According to available information, Knastová faced repeated criticism, with one of the problems being the institution's attendance figures. The Ministry of Culture is expected to announce a selection process for the position of general director in the coming months. Kotková will temporarily lead the gallery. forum24.cz ↗ zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
