The travelling documentary exhibition of filmmaker and author of books for children and adults Petr Sís installed copies of real street billboards, which served as agitation means of the Communist propaganda before 1989. Original drafts, illustrations, objects accompanying authentic artefacts from the 1950s until 1980s (from the pioneer’s scarf to fragments of the Berlin Wall). In ten special showcases will be presented an interesting, artistic and efficacious statement about the theme: “How we grew up and lived behind the Iron Curtain.”
