A new outdoor exhibition devoted to the first post-First World War years is coming to Prague between 15 Oct and 12 Nov.
The First World War completely changed East-Central Europe. Upon the ruins of four old empires, a dozen or so new countries appeared and almost all borders were redrawn, often in course of continued military conflicts, which lasted even until 1923. After having suffered very high losses, the region started rebuilding and modernising efforts. A New Europe was established. One of the curators of the exhibition is Dr. Robert Żurek - historian, member of the Board of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe.
The new outdoor travelling exhibition created by the ENRS focuses on these turbulent years. Over 200 archive and multimedia materials – pictures, maps and films together with individual stories of people who lived back in these times – present a complex yet coherent picture of New Europe established in Central-East part of the continent after the Great War.
The tour of the exhibition starts in Prague on 15 October. The display will be on view at Park Indíry Gándhíové (Praha 6, corner PIG and Technická) till 12 November, and in other European cities later this year and the following year.
