The East Bohemian Gallery did not have an opportunity to develop any previous historical collections. Since the early 1950s, it has based its collections on grants from the National Gallery and the Ministry of Education and Culture, on donations and of course its own acquisitions. As it is the case in other regional and state galleries, these acquisitions have been determined not only by the amount of financial resources, but also mainly by the personality of the director and collection curator.

The present-day gallery collections comprise of a collection of Czech art of the 19th century, with paintings by A. Machek, A. Piepenhagen, J. Mánes, A. Kosárek, A. Bubák, A. Chittussi, A. Waldhauser, J._Marák, etc., and above all of a collection of Czech art of the 20th century and a collection of regional art. The collections include a large set of landscape paintings from the end of the 19th century up to the contemporary tendencies. In this set, a special attention is paid to the works by landscape painters from the Iron Mountains and the Highlands. The most noteworthy sets also present works of the civilism and social art of the 1920s, works by members of the Skupina (Group) 42, from the 1968 and 1969 Artchemo Symposia and others. As for the authors’ collections, there are sets of works by E. A. Pitterman-Longen, J. Honsa, A.Hudecek, J._Panuska, F._Kaván, S._Máchal, T._F._Šimon, J._Bauch, F._Muzika, J._Smetana, M. Holý, J. Kotík, K. Lhoták, J. Konupek, E. Filla, F. Tichý, B. Reynek, J. Grus, O. Janecek, J._Trampota. Another excellent set is a collection documenting Czech art of the 1960s - M. Medek, S. Podhrázský, V. Preclík, J. Serých, M. Grygar, J. Hilmar, O. Slavík, E. Kmentová, J. Kolár, V. Jarcovják, F. Ronovský, S. Podhrázský, Z. Fibichová, K. Malich, V. Janousková, F. Kyncl, D. Chatrný, J. Hendrych, J. Pesicová, F. Sorek and others.

The painters from the Pardubice region are well represented in the collections as well. The gallery also manages the largest set of works by Jaroslav Grus, a native of Pardubice. The set consists of 169 paintings, 82 drawings and 22 graphic sheets. This collection was created during the years 1974 -1978. It was intended for the author’s permanent exhibition open in the Dum U Jonáse until 1991. In 2002, the purchase of 83 works from the former collection of Czech Telecom enriched the collection of regional artists with works by F. V. Danihelka, A. Hajn, J. Hegr, M. Horáková, W. Horný, L. Jandová, J. Klápste, V. Komárek, B. Kopecký, J._Kopecký, J._Køíž, F._Kyncl, J._Lacina, S. Malý, J. Medílek, J. Nekovár, L. Novák, B. Novotný, L. Pejchl, J. Procházka, K. J. Sigmund, Z. Sigmund, J. Scerbakov, M. Scigol, V. Truhlárová, V. Vokolek and L. Zívr.

The castle became the home of several state institutions: the Museum, Gallery and Monuments Institute in Pardubice, even temporally the State Archive. Neglect of continuous maintenance ha had a negative effect on the general state of the castle, serious static defects appeared in the walls. In 1975, a long-term reconstruction of the whole area and especially of the castle building, which was closed to visitors for a number of years, began. Since 1994, when the East Bohemian Museum of Pardubice took over administration of the castle, the reconstruction has been mainly financed by the Ministry of Culture for the Czech Republic, and by the Municipality of Pardubice, and it has noticeably accelerated. Parts of the castle, used for social and cultural events and functions and for the display of an extensive museum collection, are step by step being opened to the public.
