Bohemian National Hall
Open House New York is known locally, nationally and internationally for its free Annual OHNY Weekend—an unparalleled citywide cultural event in October that showcases hundreds of NYC’s most architecturally and culturally significant spaces and places, many not usually open to the public. Active in neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs, it opens doors providing unique opportunities to learn about, explore and experience the NYC’s most exciting buildings. The Bohemian National Hall is happy to be a part of this amazing event for the sixth time.
In addition to Open House New York guests can take advantage of the salient opportunity to see a unique exhibition featuring Peter Sís.
The tour will take visitors through five floors and the rooftop of this William C. Frohne landmark built in 1896 in the Renaissance Revival Style. Bohemain National Hall was designated New York City landmark by Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1994. Careful restoration of main façade was completed by Czech-American architect Jan Hird Pokorny in 1995. The first phase of renovation began in 2003 based on drawings by Czech-American architect Martin Holub. Interior renovation of unfinished areas, including the ballroom, began according to design of Czech architects Milan Kvíz and Atelier M1 in 2007. Prime Minister of the Czech Republic unveiled fully renovated Bohemian National Hall on October 30, 2008.
In collaboration with OHNY, DAHA, BBLA, and CzechTourism.
