Open House Prague, a week-long festival which celebrates Prague’s architecture, took place on May 16–22, 2022. With dozens of usually inaccessible buildings and an eventful accompanying program, the 8^th Open House Prague attracted 64,000 visitors, which is 10,000 more than last year. 

Thank you to all the visitors for an amazing atmosphere, to all the volunteers, partners from the buildings, and our supporters! Did you enjoy the festival? You can support the next Open House Prague or become a member of the Architecture Lovers Club! 👇

Open House Prague is the first Czech festival of its kind that has opened itself to people with visual disabilities and hearing disabilities while fully respecting their needs, putting emphasis on their safety and providing them with the full experience. Accessibility is about determination, not about financially demanding solutions or modifications. Andrea Šenkyříková, director of the festival, has simply decided to make Open House Prague for everybody, and she is acting on that decision. That is why people with hearing disabilities and visual disabilities can explore the beauties of Prague’s architecture. I am happy that Světluška can be a part of that.

Exploring new buildings always brings a feeling of excitement and discovery. That is not the most important thing about Open House, though: the ability to enter buildings which have previously been just anonymous spots in the map for us and see them from the inside allows us to deepen our relationship with the city and become more connected to the place where we live.
