Petr Fejk being considered as head of Bohemian National Hall in NY

The head of Prague’s Troja Zoo Petr Fejk has confirmed that he is being considered for the post of director of the Bohemian National Hall in New York. The hall, built in the late 19th century by Czech immigrants, re-opened last year following a major re-construction and will once again serve as an important social centre, housing the Czech Centre and other Czech institutions in New York. Mr. Fejk said that assuming he got the job his role would be that of a manager and he would represent the Czech Republic on a cultural and social level. Petr Fejk has served as director of the Prague Zoo for eleven years during which it underwent a major transformation and is now rated the seventh best zoo in the world.
