Work from numerous renowned and internationally respected artists from abroad as well as from the Czech Republic has been presented at Futura since 2003. During its relatively short existence the FUTURA Centre has put on dozens of exhibitions with international content using its own curatorial personnel, as well as in cooperation with other galleries, institutions or guest curators. FUTURA's spaces, created following the renovation of a former small factory, are extremely diverse and offer both classical minimalist “white cube” spaces as well as atypical spaces suitable for site-specific installations.
