START-UP is a new exhibition cycle at the City Gallery Prague (GHMP) focussing on young artists that are just starting their careers. The CGP has decided to use the monumental hall space of the former cloakroom in the ground floor of The Golden Ring for varying events starting with authors who should be boosted by the exposition.
In its fifteen-month course so far, the project has encompassed ten exhibitions (Jakub Janovský, Jakub Lipavský, Tomáš Džadoň, Adam Vačkář, Nikola Čulík, Adéla Babanová, Dragana Živanović, Alice Nikitinová, Markéta Hlinovská and Dana Sahánková).
Exhibitions from the cycle on the ground floor are free of charge.

The current complicated layout of the Golden Ring House arose from the constructional unification of two separate medieval houses. The cellars and the corridor on the first floor with the original barrel vault are preserved from the early Gothic period of building development. In this corridor there are also fragments of wall paintings from the end of the 15^th century. >>>
The wooden painted decking ceilings with Renaissance themes date from the 16^th century. The newel staircase, small oval skylight and Renaissance barrel vault come from the period of rebuilding in about 1609. The entry portal with the house sign was adapted changed in the 19^th century.

The Gallery acquired use of the building in 1990. The reading room is open to the public on the 2^nd floor. The Reading room is for on-site reading only. It offers interested persons the possibility studying professional literature, an extensive range of exhibition catalogues and professionals magazines on the subject of fine art. It is available either as part of viewing the exposition or independently - entrance is free. The foundation of its collection comprises of catalogues and publications referring to works of artists, whose works are included in Gallery collections, or artists that the Gallery had exhibited and had published a catalogue for.
