DOX Centre for Contemporary Art

This was a very nice museum. But your experience may vary based on the exhibitions that are currently inside. If you don't like modern art you will most likely be dissappointed, even though i'm not a big fan of modern art I stumbled upon an exhibition that was very gorgeous and spoke to me. If you're in Prague and you're a David Lynch fan, you should definitely check out the David Lynch exhibition, which is truly one of a kind, I never even knew he drew and painted so much. But the Joel-Peter Witkin installation blew my mind, I would show more here, but there is a lot of nudity and I don't know how google would feel about that.

This is a fantastic modern art gallery well worth making the trip to Prague to see. The David Lynch and Orhan Pamuk exhibitions were unlike anything I have ever seen before. It was so interesting to see work by artists who specialise in other fields. The structure on the roof that looks like an airship has crashed into the building is incredible to see in person. You can enter inside it but sadly we couldn't as there was an event taking place there when we visited. However, if you go to the cafe you can see it and enter onto the roof space to access the structure. I think it is rare that it is closed off. We were just unlucky with the timing of our visit. I also enjoyed the permanent artwork "shoe christ" by artist Petr Motyčka. This led me to discover the art group Pode Bal which sadly there isn't much about online that I can find out about now I am home. The great thing about visiting DOX is that I wouldn't have heard of him at all if I hadn't visited. The cafe is a lovely place to grab a coffee and fresh sandwich and the staff were very nice.

Marek Škubal – Prometheus DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, Prague Marek Škubal’s exhibition Prometheus at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art presents a meditative engagement with sculpture as a vessel for metaphysical and existential reflection. Structured into three interrelated sections — Sopor (Dreaming), Vanitas, and Mythos — the exhibition reconsiders classical and symbolist paradigms in order to interrogate the condition of form, mortality, and transcendence in the present. Škubal’s practice draws upon a lineage extending from fin-de-siècle Symbolism to early modern classicism, evoking the artisanal discipline of Rodin and Bourdelle as well as the introspective humanism of Jan Štursa. Yet these affinities are not mere revivalism; they are reanimated within a post-secular framework, transforming inherited forms into meditations on presence, decay, and spiritual residue. Rejecting the immediacy and spectacle characteristic of contemporary installation practice, Škubal privileges duration and attention — a temporality akin to Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception. His tactile use of plaster, ceramic, and bronze reasserts materiality against the dematerialized tendencies of digital culture, inviting a renewed embodiment of seeing and making. While the exhibition’s allegorical density and hermetic tone may challenge a casual viewer, Prometheus ultimately affirms the ongoing relevance of sculptural humanism. Through a synthesis of technical mastery and philosophical depth, Škubal reclaims the classical tradition as an instrument of ontological inquiry — a means of contemplating, through matter itself, the fragile continuity between being and loss.

A truly unique experience and museum in Prague and Western Europe. I've been there several times and have always been able to discover something new. The price is quite high for Prague, but it's worth the money! The wooden airship in the center of the museum is particularly beautiful. The beanbags are a wonderful place to relax. The coffee also offers a great experience. The coffee is good and the cakes are uniquely good! I will definitely come back here to enjoy the museum again and discover something new.

The building had a cool design, and I liked one of the special exhibits (orhan pamuk), who focused on art related to where he is from (turkey). The other exhibits i found too quirky, and navigating the building was a bit odd. Yes I know contemporary is always a bit quirky but don't think others intentionally try to confuse you in navigation. Ticket price for quality/quantity of exhibits wasnt as good. Probably wouldn't repeat if im back in town

I loved my visit to DOX! The building itself is amazing – a former factory turned into this bright, creative space with hidden corners and open halls. Walking through felt a bit like exploring, which I enjoyed. The exhibitions were thoughtful and sometimes challenging, but never boring. I especially liked how interactive some pieces were – it really pulls you in rather than just looking at art from a distance. The highlight for me was stepping onto the rooftop to see the Gulliver airship, which feels surreal and playful at the same time. Afterwards I relaxed in the café with a coffee and browsed the design shop – both are worth a stop. It’s not as crowded as other museums in Prague, which made the experience feel calmer and more personal. Tip: check the current exhibitions before you go, and give yourself a couple of hours to really enjoy the space. For me, it was one of the most memorable parts of my trip.

A brilliant contemporary art museum. I went for the David Lynch exhibition Up in Flames which was beyond all expectations. Soooo good. Art, photography, video, items. There were some fantastic art installations and also many other exhibitions such as Orhan Pamuk's The Consolation of Objects which was fascinating and such a surprise. I'm now a big fan and I hadn't been aware of his novels before this. What a welcome break this is from the busy centre! You can get a tram directly to the area. Also they have a cloakroom so great if you have any travel luggage with you.

DOX offers a LOT of art for your money! I think there were a total of five (?) different exhibitions when I went, all of them unique. But I have to admit that the art is VERY CONTEMPORARY. If you wanna think about whether the technology of a computer is neocolonialistic then this is the perfect place for you, but it might be too comtemporary for some people.

The artists on exhibition will greatly influence your experience in the contemporary art museum. The current show was intellectually stimulating and visually convincing. Two concurrent exhibitions running on themes of social power dynamics caught my eye. Badiucao, principally a graphic artist with a retrospective containing mixed-media. The other is a group show of artists around the world. Two buildings with two outdoor areas.

L O V E this gallery. There's a Peter Siś exhibit, as well as other interactive exhibits to spend the majority of our day absorbing. Pros: - very open space and the exhibits let's people of all ages engage in their own ways - not super touristy, many young families or what seems like locals passing through on the weekend - outdoor patio of the cafe is relaxing and the drink options are plenty (kombucha/coffees/sodas,etc.) - very kid friendly, play area by the cafe Notes: - it's warm in there because of the open natural light pouring in through the windows, check in that jacket- it's free - make sure to pass by the shop at the end, there are boxes below the display tables that contain merchandise that's on sale or discounted

Fun, unique museum in Prague with interactive exhibits. The museum is filled with contemporary art pieces that effectually either reflect or criticize modern social norms. The museum is a bit confusing in terms of the layout, and many areas seemed to be closed off during our visit (nov 2018) - however, we still had a blast. Along with a terrace, there is also a nice museum to grab coffee and snacks. We spend a solid 1.5 hours there, although I'm sure you can spend much longer. If you're in Prague and you've checked out all the normal tourist attractions, I'd definitely recommend this museum.

a bit disappointed, make sure you check out what they have on the exhibits before you come. I came when they did a really weird baby things. Not a fan of it. Other than that, cool building and really interesting shoe man on the wall.

I really enjoyed this contemporary art museum when I was there. If you want to get away from the long lines and and you appreciate modern art, this is worth a visit.

Just what you would expect from a center for contemporary art - great exhibitions, beautiful space, lovely cafe and super expensive gift shot. Definitely worth a visit at least once, though I like to go regularly so I can catch the different exhibitions - I'm never disappointed :)

I discovered a very curious contemporary art museum on the outskirts of Prague, with a strong curation of artwork.
