OHNY Weekend - French Embassy
Open House New York allows visitors to visit rarely seen spaces around New York. The wide variety of sites that host the weekend-long event range from boardrooms to bedrooms, crypts to clubs, factories to firehouses, lighthouses to lookouts, monuments to mansions, skyscrapers to substations.
France has owned the mansion since 1952 and today it is home to the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and Albertine Bookstore. Albertine features a stunning interior design by one of France’s most celebrated modern architects, Jacques Garcia. The Cultural Services of the French Embassy promote the best of French arts, literature, cinema, language, and higher education across the US.
