Address:Palác Savarin, Na Příkopě 852/10, Nové Město, Praha,

Open 10:00–18:00, with prior reservation here.

For the first time since its extensive renovation, the Savarin Palace will open to the public and come alive with art during PAW24. For this purpose, the historical building has been lent to the festival by its main partner, Crestyl, which has been renovating the site since 2021. Visitors will have the opportunity to admire the architecture of the palace plus three exhibitions of contemporary art. There will also be several design pieces from THE DESIGN, inviting visitors to enjoy a nice coffee in the atrium of the palace together with the official distributor of free coffee at PAW24, De’Longhi. 

Michal Škapa’s neon installation at the entrance to the Savarin Palace on the street Na Příkopě reflects the bustling atmosphere of Prague and represents a fascinating fusion of modern art and urban culture. Michal Škapa, also known as Tron, is one of the leading Czech creators of street art. His neon installations revitalize traditional graffiti and mural techniques with vibrant colors and lighting effects. Škapa’s works not only decorate the city streets but also inspire and provoke contemplation about contemporary society and its relationship with art.
