Sometimes you can hear the piano, other times the organ. Sometimes people sing here and other times people come here for exhibitions. The Atrium is a unique cultural center in Prague's Žižkov, which is hidden between apartment buildings not far from the Žižkov tower and Olšanské náměstí. The reconstructed Baroque chapel hosts concerts of classical music and jazz, important contemporary artists exhibit in the gallery and coffee is brewed in the bistro with the garden.

The atrium first opened in 1984 and has become a traditional place of Žižkov's cultural life. Recently, community events have been held here and the garden has become a popular place to relax. Since 2016, marriages have also taken place in the chapel.

Atrium Žižkov is managed by the contributory organization Za Trojku, which is being established by the City District of Prague 3. You can also visit our sister center KC Vozovna.

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.

The jewel of the Břevnov monastery is the Theresian Hall with a remarkable ceiling fresco by the Miracle of Blessed Vintir. The name was given to Maria Theresa when she visited the monastery in 1753. The hall stands out with its festive atmosphere and friendly acoustics. The windows offer a refreshing view of the monastery gardens, the rich decoration is a temptation for the eyes, but the earthy colors provide a feeling of comfort.

The Theresian Hall deserves the sound of chamber ensembles, especially the softness of wooden wind instruments or the soft color of the tones of the piano or its predecessors. The tranquility of the monastery and at the same time the pomp of Baroque construction enhances every moment spent here in a festive event.
