The cultural centrepiece of Žižkov district and independent culture, offering offbeat community, music, theatre and visual arts projects.

history

Palác Akropolis was built by architect Rudolf Václav Svoboda in 1927 as a metropolitan cultural centre. The palace included a theatre hall, café, restaurant and a sixth-floor viewing terrace. However, the original grand plans were thwarted by the economic crisis. The building was subsequently purchased as an investment by the Krematorium Association.
Performances took place at the Akropolis Theatre during the First Republic. During the occupation, it was renamed Moderní, but was later closed by the Germans. After the war, performances resumed only briefly before the building was converted into an ordinary residential building.
At the end of the 20th century, Palác Akropolis was revived as the stage for the “Prague Five”, a group of five unconventional ensembles, the best known of which was the Sklep Theatre. Its restored interiors evoked the spirit of the 1920s. The palace later made a name for itself primarily as a concert venue and experimental performance space.
