On Sunday of OHNY Weekend, the Czech Center New York, in cooperation with Bohemian Benevolent & Literary Association (BBLA), the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in New York, and the Dvořák American Heritage Association (DAHA) will offer in-person guided tours of the Bohemian National Hall on a first-come, first-served basis approximately every 20 minutes. The tour will include the Dvořák Room, the exhibition space of the Dvořák American Heritage Association (DAHA). The Bohemian National Hall has been an important center for Czech and Slovak culture in New York City for more than 100 years. Since its beginning, it has served as a focal point for its community, offering ethnic food, Czech language and history classes as well as space for its large community to meet and hold various events. Today, the Bohemian National Hall is a significant reminder of the major working-class ethnic enclave that once flourished in Yorkville and stands as a monument to an important aspect of the history of immigrants in New York City and the United States. Visitors can also enjoy the exhibition Beautiful Work featuring young Czech designers and hear the national anthem performed by Markéta Hejdová. There will also be a presentation about Palacky University in Olomouc, commemorating its 450th Anniversary.
