PLATO is a municipal contemporary art gallery in Ostrava. It operates in the city centre in two locations less than 70 m apart. Main exhibitions can be found in the PLATO building, a reconstructed, heritage-listed municipal slaughterhouse from the late 19th century. The other space, PLATO Bauhaus, is a former hobby market with nearly 5,000 m2 of space, for educational and community programmes.
Besides exhibitions, you can come and enjoy programmes for families and a wide range of educational activities. PLATO curates its own concert and film series and run the Octopus Press publishing house.
You will find cafés in both of our buildings. In PLATO, the former slaughterhouse, there's also a hydroponic farm where you can buy fresh lettuce. In PLATO Bauhaus there's freely accessible library with a reading room, a material library, a bookshop, a garden, and a cinema.
