The visit to the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art proved to be an inspired choice. It's a little far from the city centre and the hotel where we were staying, but we got there easily using the tram.
The museum is organized in a former factory. It is a new museum, opened in 2008, thanks to an independent initiative. Visitors can admire contemporary fine art created by mainly Czech artists. Works by international artists can also be seen, depending on the museum's activity program.
I particularly liked the airship on the roof (Gulliver Airship), a totally unusual space that can accommodate various artistic activities.

It’s not just the artwork that you can appreciate here, it’s also the architecture and outdoor art installation. It’s well curated and the quirky captions displayed everywhere are so fun and it keeps the interest heightened as you progress along. It’s a contemporary art museum unlike others. Kafka is omnipresent here…and why not? It’s the museum unique selling point as well!

Me and my sister saw this was recommended a lot in the district of Holosevice. Since we stayed in a hostel in this area, we were curious and enthusiastic to visit it. We were a little disappointed about the extensiveness of the collection. The art that was there, was surely nice, but we were hoping to spend more than half an hour on seeing everthing.

Visited with my partner and was incredibly disappointed.
We paid 264Kč (10€) for two very small exhibitions that took us about 10-15 minutes to completely go through.
Confused we asked if that was all and sadly it was. Most of the building was not open for visits, the Gulliver couldn't be visited or looked at closely either. Most of what we were able to exhibit was blank walls.
Definitely don't visit during times where no temporary exhibitions are on.
One star because the staff was very friendly.

Some very strong and thought provoking Imagery. Dissipated that staff were unable to tell us much about the art work . Was a bit of a longer walk from the old town then we expected but was beautiful spring day so we enjoyed stretching our legs.

It's May. Prague is bursting with visitors. We love to see modern art in every city we visit. And yet DOX is mostly closed? Why would they reduce their exhibitions by more than half just when the patrons are ready to visit? We walked a very long way from the old town and there was practically nothing on view. Very disappointing and not recommended.

This DOC Center of Contemporary Art is located out of the turistic city of Prague but no problem with the tram 14 to the end. It`s a very modern space with around area in renovation, or manicure-gentrification. I went to the DOX looking for a controversial - other... - of David Cerney, called ENTROPIA. The guys said that one year ago that sculpture was ... out, nobody knows to where. But there is another, on the roof. A big skull. Anyway, inside, there is exposition, bibliotek, cafe, a shop of fine design. Finally, it`s a goot place to go to know a NEW PRAGUE.

This museum is privately owned and was something like a miracle when it was finished a few years ago. The exhibitions are always very interesting, sometimes they have political character and have strong opinions about our society. It is a must visit for people interested in art and in the circumstances we are living in.

A bit out of the city centre but the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art is well worth a visit. Of course it all depends on the changing exhibition program, however the four shows on when we visited were all worthwhile, and two of them were exceptional - 'Disabled by Normality' and Kamila Zenata 'The Women's Yard' are both excellent exhibitions.
DOX also has an excellent design shop with high quality objects and books. The only drawback is the cafe..... don't arrive hungry, it only serves drinks. The hospitable server rustled up toasted cheese sandwiches for us, but don't plan on having lunch here.
TIP. Take the free minibus which goes from Old Town to DOX daily at 1pm. Details on www.dox.cz/en

Hello,
the best way is to catch tram number 6. It goes from Náměstí republiky directly to Ortenovo náměstí where the gallery is placed.
