The DOX Centre for Contemporary Art (dox.cz), occupying a former factory in the eastern part of Holešovice, stands at the heart of the neighborhood's artistic ambitions. Shows here highlight a wide range of media, including video, sculpture, photography, sound and painting. There’s a decent cafe and excellent bookshop that's heavy on art and architecture. Don't miss the "Gulliver Airship," a giant wooden zeppelin that has been perched atop the building since 2016. From the museum, you can enter the structure to discover an exhibition about airship technology, but it's also worth a peek and a photo-op from outside on the street.
