Prague, May 14, 2018 – Over the weekend of May 19-20, 2018, the Open House Prague festival will take place for the fourth time, allowing free access to 65 architecturally interesting and typically inaccessible buildings and spaces in the capital city. Interested individuals will be able to view historical, modern, and contemporary architectural buildings, peek into offices or administrative buildings, palaces, or train stations.
We walk past them every day, and now we can also go where we normally cannot – an authentic architectural experience and a meeting with different perspectives and views on urban architecture and public space are some of the fundamental ideas of the Open House Prague festival. This year, it will be complemented by accompanying programs such as guided city tours with prominent architects or children's architectural workshops. There will also be special tours for the hearing impaired in selected locations.
