The Office of Václav Havel

The Dagmar and Václav Havel Foundation has prepared a new cultural project of an international dimension called the Office of Václav Havel (OVH), which makes it possible for people around the world to view the OVH in 3D. The OVH virtual tour project is very educational and its objective is to show Václav Havel’s personality and to convey his ideas and visionary view of the world. After three years of hard work, we were able to digitalize and open the Office of Václav Havel located at the same address as The Foundation VIZE 97, i.e. in the Schwarzenberg Palace at Voršilská Street 10, Prague 1. These unique premises became Václav Havel’s office in 2003. Václav Havel, who was famous for his deep-seated sense of art and aesthetics, created the interior of his office himself in collaboration with architect Bořek Šípek, thus leaving his own imprint. The rooms on the ground floor with a vaulted ceiling sensitively combine old and modern art and house original glass bookcases as well as modern furniture. Ceiling paintings and many valuable gifts that Václav Havel received co-create the unique atmosphere of these premises.
