An exhibition on the history of the WTO building, including portraits of various key figures in its evolution, will be on display along with a feature on the "Ways we gain from trade".

Visitors will have the chance to sample national food and drink offered by a variety of WTO members. There will also be activities for children, such as story-telling, face-painting, a treasure hunt and a bouncy castle.

The 2019 Open Day will be the fifth time the WTO has opened its doors to the public. The first was held in 2009 while the most recent edition was in June 2015 to mark the WTO's 20th anniversary .
