The beautiful European city of Prague is like an old precious box full of unusual treasures. Each cobbled street hides its story and keeps its secrets. You can spend your whole life in this city and never stop being surprised just by turning into an unfamiliar place from your usual way. Wherever your walks lead you, don't forget to visit the DOX Center for Contemporary Art. The modern cultural center, together with the Trade Fair Palace, is considered the most interesting place in the Czech capital dedicated to contemporary art.
In 2002, Czech designer Leos Valka conceived the idea of creating a unique cultural space with contemporary art from all over the world. Hence the name of the center, DOX, which means "concept" or "opinion" in Greek. It is not only a place featuring authentic masterpieces, but also a warm and cozy nook where everyone can create a dialogue between the viewer and art.
The DOX Center for Contemporary Art has become home to the works of talented architects, designers, and artists, including the scandalous and provocative ones by the famous Czech sculptor David Cerny. Unlike popular art galleries, the center provides a place for discussions not only about aesthetics and beauty but also about politics and global social questions. The DOX Center can be compared to an island of freedom and self-expression in the ocean of traditional Europe with its classical museums and expositions.
The DOX Center for Contemporary Art has an art cafe and a small shop with unique accessories from the best Czech designers. Besides, the center is situated in a beautiful place surrounded by the Vltava River, away from the busy tourist streets and noisy restaurants. So just enjoy your stroll along the picturesque riverside, reflect on the art and, of course, drink a bottle of cool Czech Kofola with lemon or cinnamon.
