Open House is one of the most important global institutions for the promotion of architecture. The event will be held in Athens on April 16-17 giving visitors the opportunity to get acquainted with the architectural gems of the city.

For the third time, “Open House” will give visitors the opportunity to get acquainted with the architectural gems of the city.

The Open House project invites the public to explore and understand the value of architecture. Every year for one weekend, private and public buildings open their gates to everyone for free and the city is transformed to a big museum, with its buildings and architecture being the exhibits.

450 volunteers will tour visitors to 91 modern and neoclassical buildings, among them the Museum of the city of Athens, the Bangeio, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the Athens City Hall, the Jewish Museum, the Vorres Museum, the Municipal Theatre of Piraeus.

The idea began at London in 1992 and until today it has spread to many cities around the globe. Open House in Athens takes place every spring and this year, for the third time, during 15-17 of April.
