RFE hands over keys of former Prague headquarters to new tenant

The U.S. broadcaster Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty on Monday formally handed over the keys of its former headquarters at the top end of Wenceslas Square to the building’s new tenant, the National Museum. The museum, located just across the street and in desperate need of new premises, has big plans for the imposing glass and chrome building. It will house over 3,000 square meters of exhibition rooms, a museum restaurant and shop, and a conference and multimedia room for an audience of nearly 500. The museum is planning to throw its doors open to the public on the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution in November. Radio Free Europe has moved to new headquarters on the suburbs of the city for security reasons.
