The “Open House” event will be held in Athens on April 16-17 giving visitors the opportunity to get acquainted with the architectural gems of the city.
The event is held for a third consecutive year with the assistance of 450 volunteers who will give visitors a tour of 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 Theater of Piraeus.
“The event aims at getting people acquainted with the value of architecture and its importance in our daily life,” Athens Open House public relations manager Renata Douma said.
Last year, 20,000 people had the opportunity to admire the unique and important buildings of Athens.
The “Open House” is a very important international institution that aims to the promotion of architecture. The project started in London in 1992 and is now held in more than 35 cities throughout the world.
