DOX Centre for Contemporary Art
About

Housed in a repurposed factory in Prague’s Holešovice district, the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art is the Czech Republic’s largest independent institution dedicated to modern creativity. Since opening in 2008, it has become a vibrant hub for visual art, literature, architecture, and performance, known for tackling pressing social issues through exhibitions, debates, and interdisciplinary events. The center’s striking architecture includes the Gulliver Airship—a wooden and steel structure suspended above the building, symbolizing exploration and imagination. DOX’s dynamic programming features international artists such as David Lynch and Orhan Pamuk, alongside Czech talents, offering thought-provoking installations and cultural dialogue. Visitors can enjoy a design shop, café with terrace, and educational workshops that foster critical thinking across generations. With its commitment to innovation and public engagement, DOX stands as a beacon of contemporary expression in Prague’s cultural landscape.
