Fejk: Czech Center at Bohemian National Hall should be more open

The director of the Bohemian National Hall in New York says the city’s Czech Center, which is housed in the building, should become more open in the future. Petr Fejk, who since the start of the year has been in charge of the Czech state-owned building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, told the Czech News Agency that he wanted the Czech Center to become a real cultural and information centre, where people would come regularly and without fear of entering. The Bohemian National Hall, which was built in the 1890s, was reopened in late 2008 after extensive renovation funded by the Czech Republic.
