The collection includes sculpturesmade in polychromous woodcut technique from the territory of the former historical Cheb county and its neighbourhood. The extent of the collection, considering the time point of view, is relatively very broad and includes works of the early Gothic (Master of the circle of the so-called Premysl's cross from Jihlava: Pieta, before 1350 A.D.) as well as the works of the culminating late Gothic period (Master of the Altar from the St. Jost Church: St. Christopher, around 1530 A.D.) The collection was arising gradually, partially by delimitation of some of the works of art from the collections of the Museum in Cheb, by purchase and also by the transmission from the state property (relics from destroyed or secularized church buildings). The collection owned by the art gallery is completed by several long-termed loans from the City Museum in Aš, the City Museum in Františkovy Lázně and church and local property (The office of the Arch dean of the Roman-Catholic Church in Cheb, The Town of Skalná). The sculptures that often got into the gallery collection in a completely desolate condition were treated with maximum possible care and the best specialists in conserving of the gothic polychromous woodcut participated on its saving from the half of the 60's when the collection started to be formed. The collection was originally placed in the former hospital church of St. Bartholomew which had to be though after the year 1989 by the gallery on the basis of the governmental resolution about the restitutions of the church property returned to its primary owner, the Knight order of the Crusaders with the Red Star. Within the project of the reconstruction and revitalization of the former Women's Franciscan convent church, the whole collection of the Gothic was moved to this unique historical building where it is permanently installed.
