Open doors day at many state institutions on October 28
Many state institutions in Czechia are traditionally marking the national holiday by opening their normally inaccessible premises to the public. People are able to visit the seat of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate as well as the Office of the Government and Prague City Hall. Petschek's Palace in Politických vězňů Street is also open to the public. The building, where the Gestapo had its main office during the Second World War, is now used by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The Ministry of Education and Ministry of Agriculture are also giving tours of their premises.
