The 2024 Open House Prague festival takes place May 13–19, 2024. The 10th edition of the festival will open 115 buildings and spaces around the capital city. Starting May 13, there will also be an eventful accompanying program on the weekdays, including special guided tours, lectures, and discussions (mostly in Czech). The full list of these events will be revealed by the end of April.

From Monday, May 13, you can also visit us at our information center, located this year at the Hybernská Campus (Hybernská 998/4, Prague 1). The information center is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the weekend. We are also working on this year’s edition of the Festival Guide, which will be available for purchase in both printed and digital form.

We look forward to seeing you!

Anniversaries & New Buildings

This year’s program commemorates several important Czechoslovak architects. You can visit functionalist gems such as the former restaurant of the Štvanice Winter Stadium by Josef Fuchs (130th birth anniversary), the Trade Fair Palace by Josef Fuchs and Oldřich Tyl (140^th birth anniversary), and Tyl’s Pod Slovany Garage. We will also visit the Bílá Elementary School and Nursery School by Jan Gillar (120th birth anniversary). Czech functionalism is also represented by the works of Adolf Benš (140th birth anniversary), such as the former Electrical Enterprises (now Bubenská 1) and Terminal 4 at Václav Havel Airport. Commemorating the 70th anniversary of the death of Josef Fanta, we will also open the Hlávka Student Dormitory, the Art Nouveau building at the main railway station, and the seat of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Finally, the work of Karel Hubáček (100th birth anniversary) is represented e.g. by the DISK Theater. The program includes over 35 new buildings, e.g. the Škoda Works Palace, Na Libušince Villa, or several buildings at Prague Castle.
