The Open House Brno 2025 festival weekend is coming up
This upcoming weekend, Open House Brno will offer tours of 118 locations, concerts, workshops, and guided tours that connect different generations.
Teralóna in the chapel of the Faculty Hospital at St. Anne, school tours led by their students, or local historians guiding visitors along Ponávka or at the exhibition grounds, as well as workshops where even the smallest can become architects of the New Zbrojovka – these are just some of the accompanying events that Open House Brno 2025 will enrich with its weekend program. The main focus of the festival will be the tours of 118 locations throughout Brno. Most locations will be accessible without reservations; visitors just need to arrive at the meeting point on time. Those interested in the last tickets for locations with reservations can find them on the GoOut server.
The information center with maps and festival items can be found on Saturday and Sunday at the House of Lords from Lipá in Svobody Square from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. By purchasing selected merchandise, visitors will become supporters of the festival and receive a ticket for public transportation in Brno.
“At the festival, we want to offer visitors more options, perspectives, and connections between architecture and everyday life and promote intergenerational dialogue about the shape of the Moravian metropolis. We are also newly opening the European competition Visual stories to a children’s audience, featuring architectural and artistic workshops for both children and adults, and the Diversa Quartet will perform at Villa Wittal and the former Distillery, connecting the history of the place with the present through music. The festival will also include short excerpts from the archive of Czech Television, which will showcase selected buildings in historical contexts,” describes the accompanying program creative director of the festival Lucie Pešl Šilerová from the Culture & Management Association.
All tours at the Open House Brno festival are free for visitors. This is possible thanks to the involvement of hundreds of volunteers, the willingness of individual locations, and the festival’s partners.
“I would like to thank everyone who is involved in the eighth edition of the festival in any way. I would like to mention the festival partners, which include CTP, TIC Brno, Brno Expat Centre, Technické sítě Brno, the Brno Public Transport Company, the Institute of Interior Designers, ATAK design, Masaryk University, the JAMU Faculty of Music, Brno Museum Night, Alfa Passage, Brno Contemporary Orchestra, Opera DIversa, Steam Brewery Hauskrecht, and Udělej si placku. The festival has been financially supported by the Ministry of Culture, the Statutory City of Brno, the city districts of Brno - Střed, Brno - Sever, Brno-Líšeň, Brno - Řečkovice and Mokrá Hora, and Brno - Žabovřesky, as well as OSA, the Czech Architecture Foundation, and the Czech Chamber of Architects. Media partners include Archizoom, Brněnská drbna, GoOut, GoToBrno.cz, KAM v Brně, the Pro culture portal, and Káva spojuje,” summarizes Pešl Šilerová.
Interested parties can find the complete program of this year’s festival and involved locations on the website and on social media Instagram and Facebook. Open House Brno is also one of the initiators of the Open House Europe project, which creates a space for experience exchange among twenty-two architecture and urbanism festivals in Europe and brings foreign visitors to Brno. The festival is part of the Open House Worldwide network, which includes around fifty metropolises around the world that host Open House festivals. The events attract more than two million people worldwide every year. Brno has been part of this network since 2018.
The festival is under the patronage of the governor of the South Moravian Region Mgr. Jan Grolich, the mayor of the Statutory City of Brno JUDr. Markéta Vaňková, and the dean of the JAMU HF prof. Barbara Maria Willi.
