The visitors will have a chance to see historical building of the Embassy dating back to 1879 representing typical late Victorian vernacular architecture.

The Embassy of the Czech Republic is partnering with the non-profit initiative Gallery 17/18 to host art exhibitions in the Embassy building, which has been recently adapted for the presentation of artistic works. Gallery 17/18 has been providing a venue for contemporary Czech and Canadian artists to showcase their works over 2017 and 2018. These are the years in which Canada and the Czech Republic will commemorate important anniversaries, 150 years since Canadian Confederation and 100 years since the creation of the independent state of Czechoslovakia.

Gallery 17/18 is currently hosting the exhibition “Couples”, which can be thus seen during Doors Open Ottawa.
