The Zenger Transformer Station / Electricity in the City, Electricity in Architecture

An evocative story about the role of electricity and modern technology in the development of the Zenger Electrical Substation, as well as in Prague’s history more broadly. Through this exhibition, Kunsthalle Praha pays tribute to the rich history of its building. You will explore the fascinating history of the original building from the 1930s, designed by architect Vilém Kvasnička who cleverly housed its industrial function within an orderly, rationalist interior while conceiving the building’s exterior as an urban palace, naturally blending in with the historic architecture of Prague’s Lesser Town.
