The Dvořák Room welcomes in-person visits once again as part of Open House New York, the free Annual OHNY Weekend – an unparalleled citywide cultural event that showcases hundreds of NYC’s most architecturally and culturally significant spaces and places, many not usually open to the public.

The entire Bohemian National Hall – a New York City Landmark dating from 1896 – will be open for whirlwind tours of this remarkable historic center of Czech and Slovak life in New York City. For more information about the tours, visit czechcenter.com.

The Dvorak Room was created by the Dvorak American Heritage Association to commemorate and celebrate Dvorak’s influential American years, which inspired his world famous “New World” Symphony, “American“ Quartet and Quintet, and many other beloved works. Memorabilia from the composer’s American years are exhibited in a 19th- century period room setting with graphic panels telling the story of Dvorak in America.

Free and open to the public, no reservations required.

This event is organized by the Dvorak American Heritage Association (DAHA) with support of BBLA.
