Prague’s Industrial Palace to reopen after three-billion-crown reconstruction

Prague’s Industrial Palace will reopen to the public on September 25 after an extensive reconstruction costing more than CZK 3 billion. For the following two weeks, visitors will be able to explore the building’s history, architecture and newly renovated interiors on guided tours organised by Výstaviště Praha together with Prague City Tourism. The palace will then not be regularly open to the public, but will be used for exhibitions, fairs and other planned events.

The palace was built for the 1891 Jubilee Exhibition to a design by architect Bedřich Munzberger. Its left wing was destroyed by fire in 2008, and reconstruction of the palace and rebuilding of the wing began in February 2022. The building is a protected cultural monument of exceptional artistic and technical value.
