What To Expect

798 Art Zone

Number "798" refers to a 50-year old decommissioned military factory building with its unique architectural style is where the artists have set up their galleries and workshops. At the turn of the century, these German-designed buildings became the playing ground for upcoming artists, seeking out a place to create their art, their ideas of architecture, and culture in a historically interesting location. Up until today, this previous factory plant has become a haven for artists from home and even abroad. Artists gather here to open galleries, art studios and cafes, and hold all kinds of art events, making the area the most resounding name in the artistic circle. It is regularly compared with New York's Greenwich Village or SOHO. The 798 Art Zone has evolved into a dynamic and fascinating art and cultural precinct that is, without a shred of a doubt, worth a visit.
