PLATO Ostrava
PLATO is a contemporary art gallery in Ostrava. We operate in the centre of the city in a reconstructed, heritage-listed municipal slaughterhouse dating from the turn of the 20th century. The exhibition spaces in a total of five halls occupy an area of 1,370 m². The architectural design allows six walls to be turned around and the building to be opened from all sides.
We offer space to everyone who wants to understand the present-day world in a broader context. In PLATO, we reflect on the world’s complexity and richness through art, in an international context and at the highest possible level. We trust artists and support them.
