The Bulletin of the National Gallery Prague is a European museum periodical issued as a standard portfolio service provided to experts and the general public by modern collection institutions financed from public budgets. The Bulletin of the NGP is an expert periodical focusing on research result publication, covering all NGP collection and archive fund categories. The results are presented in a wide intra- as well as interdisciplinary context; primarily, they are published in a world language (mostly English), and the full text version is also available in Czech.
Aside from longer synthetic and monograph studies and brief reports on recent discoveries relating to single artworks, the Bulletin of the NGP also publishes the results of restoration work and technological analyses, archival materials significant for art history, collection, patronage, and other related topics; furthermore, professional reviews of both Czech and foreign important recent intradisciplinary publications. The Bulletin of the NGP has been issued annually since 1991. Until 2013, it was mostly published as a double issue; since 2014, it has been published as a single yearly issue.
The Bulletin of the NGP is a peer-reviewed journal, with each article indexed by the BHA bibliography. Published by the National Gallery Prague.
