DEPO2015, Entertainment centre in Jižní Předměstí, Plzeň, Czech Republic.
DEPO2015 is a cultural center housed in a converted transportation depot in Plzen, featuring exhibition galleries, performance venues, and workshop spaces. The complex spans the original bus and trolleybus facility with multiple distinct areas each adapted for different types of activities and events.
The building originally served as an operating depot for buses and trolleybuses, functioning as essential transportation infrastructure for the city for decades. It was converted in 2015 when Plzen became the European Capital of Culture, giving the facility its new cultural purpose.
The space tells the story of Plzen's industrial and transportation past through exhibitions and its current use as a gathering place for cultural activities. Visitors can see how a functional depot has been transformed into a venue where people come together for art, food, and workshops.
The venue is located in the Jižní Předměstí neighborhood and is accessible by public transportation, particularly bus service. The main entrance is easy to find and locate, and the grounds provide ample space for walking through and exploring the different areas.
The complex houses a permanent exhibition of miniature historic vehicles that traces the technological evolution of local transportation. This unexpected collection provides visitors with a focused view of the mechanical innovations that shaped the city's transport history.
