Gallery of the Central Bohemian Region is an art gallery in Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. It is located in a renovated Baroque building that used to be a Jesuit College. GASK is the successor to the Czech Museum of Fine Arts in Prague. It cares for nearly 10,000 collection items. Gallery collections include about 3,000 paintings, 600 sculptures, 2,000 drawings, and 3,000 prints. Since 2009, it has been a subsidized organization of the Central Bohemian Region.
The Central Bohemian Gallery was established in 1964 as a spin-off from the Centre for State Heritage Preservation and Nature Protection of the Central Bohemian Region and until 1971 had a permanent exhibition at the Nelahozeves Castle. Since its foundation, it has focused primarily on 20th and 21st century fine arts. From 1971 to 2009, it was housed in three renovated medieval houses at Husova street 19–21, Prague 1. From 1993, it operated under the new name Czech Museum of Fine Arts in Prague in order to distance itself from the period of normalization, which meant an interruption in its development and the ideological destruction of its original concept. At that time, the gallery did not have suitable premises for presenting its collections and exhibited, among other places, at Karolinum and House of the Black Madonna. In 1998, it acquired the Jesuit College in Kutná Hora as its future location, and in 2001, its administration was transferred from the Ministry of Culture back to the Central Bohemian Region. After moving to Kutná Hora, it changed its name to the Gallery of the Central Bohemian Region.

Kutná Hora is a town in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 22,000 inhabitants. The history of Kutná Hora is linked to silver mining, which made it a rich and rapidly developing town. The centre of Kutná Hora, including the Sedlec Abbey and the Sedlec Ossuary, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 because of its outstanding architecture and its influence on subsequent architectural developments in other Central European city centres. The historic town centre is also protected as an urban monument reservation, the fourth largest in the Czech Republic.
The large concentration of monuments and its inclusion on the UNESCO list make Kutná Hora a significant tourist destination. The town's sacral monuments are among the most important and most visited monuments in the Czech Republic. In addition to tourism, the town's economy also includes industry, which is represented by production of tobacco products and the electrical engineering industry.
