This place, with an attractive exterior of preserved brick-made factory, offers more than 4,000 square meters of open space, where you can find a gallery of contemporary art, a hall for musical production, concerts and corporate events; dance hall run by young Pilsen dancers, a professionally equipped 200m² photo and video atelier as well as studios for exhibiting artists.On the ground floor, Café Papírna offers its guests a stylish refreshment with an emphasis on the quality and origin of the assortment.
The team behind this project has been formed from young active people of various creative disciplines who have practical experience in this field and want to contribute, without the passive waiting, to the development of Pilsen as much as possible. Our goal is not to compete with similar activities, but rather to help as much as possible the actual utilization of cultural potential of the West Bohemian metropolis.

This is one of the top ten jazz clubs in the Czech Republic. A revolutionary music and theater scene. A cultural monument, the oldest of its kind in Central Europe. And above all, a place where you will have an unforgettable musical experience amongst fantastic musicians, presidents, and other top public figures.
Since its foundation in 1957, the club has been the main home of jazz throughout the Czech Republic. But it did not achieve real world renown until after the Velvet Revolution, under the auspices of Pragokoncert Bohemia, a leading art agency, which made one of the three oldest Central European clubs world-class and introduced the club to an international audience and the art community.

Cult considered pragues club Rock Cafe was from its beginning tightly bound with artist society called New Horizon. This voluntary association had been founded by Jaroslav Zajpt, acting like a chairman, followed by V.Chrenovsky, J.Rauser, R.Skokan, P.Zvolensky, J.Simecek, D.Sustr a J.Vondracek, who were members of coordination board. On the 5th of Janaury 1990 came out the statement of the society and on 22nd took place the general meeting wich set up New Horizon as legally registred agency. Its main goal have been to gather different sorts of artistsand provide them with manager and legal help. Last but not least it have also supported beginning artist groups and interpreters.

Its advantages are placement in the city centre (Narodní 20, 110 00 Praha 1) and its ability to support different kinds of artist events.
Like many pragues clubs Rock Cafe have been recently dealing with the noise problems and therefore all shows had to end before 10 p.m. Nontheless all adjustments of the basement of the clubs are done by now, thanks to the kindness and financial support of the local authority of Prague 1. The reconstruction intoduced the brand new music stage, basement of the club and recently bulit gallery.
The reconsturction brought many inprovements from wich benefits the bands along with the visitors of the club. Most of them will aprecciate not only extended hours, but also the new sound and lighting system, powerful air condition system and original design of the new interior. The new bar right at the auditorium and in the chill out zone, where projections of the shows in progress are possible, also conturbitues to satisfaction of the guests. Another advantege is also the enlarged capacity of the club, wich allows bigger crowd to enjoy the show.
Another interesting venue is built from the former music stage. This allows many new opportunites for the alternative genres like theaters (some of the ensembles are already performing at Rock Cafe) experimental performances, evenings of literature and projections of interesting movies. This allows Rock Café to widen its range and became a truly multicultural venue.

The world-famous concert hall has been the home stage of the Czech Philharmonic since the orchestra’s very first public performance on 4 January 1896, when it played here under the baton of Antonín Dvořák. The hall served its purpose until 1918 when a decision was taken to convert it into a plenary room for the new Czechoslovak parliament. Concert activities returned to Dvořák Hall in 1940–1942 under the project of architects Antonín Engel and Bohumír Kozák. Since then the hall has not seen any significant changes. Its central element is the organ, built according to Zítek’s and Schulz’s plans by Wilhelm Sauer from Frankfurt an die Oder.
The most recently added Rudolfinum hall was built between 1940 and 1942 under the project of architects Antonín Engel and Bohumír Kozák. This smaller concert hall, whose construction was carried out simultaneously with interventions in the adjacent Dvořák Hall, was decorated in a style inspired by Zítek’s and Schulz’s original designs, which makes it fit perfectly within the original concept of the building.
