from the street No. 36 Charvátova one can entrance to the underground hall of the former House of Art and Industry. Now there is a secondhand bookstore and old furniture. The Palace DUP was the headquarters of ÚLUV and shop Krásná jizba. Before 1989, the union ÚLUV operated 45 workshops and 15 shops throughout the Republic and this palace housed the headquarters of the department and demographers, designers, administration. On several floors above were the offices of Odeon publishing house. Disputes between Odeon and restituents caused ÚLUV including workshops and a shops were privatized in 1995 in the form of liquidation. Dup was then sold to a private owner. The house has since dilapidated, street facade is covered with large-scale advertising, luxury main shop window glass is storage of cheap shoes. In the former gallery G 365 is selling lingerie or stockings, Old books store in a shabby hall is somehow mysterious hidden place in the heart of Prague.
