Cultural bridges in Europe / Czech and Moravian Nobility after 1945

19. 9. - 19. 11. 2023

 New Town Hall - Tower.

The exhibition presents the lives and activities of selected personalities from the Czech and Moravian nobility after the Second World War.

Using the examples of Richard Belcredi, Johanna von Herzogenberg, Ferdinand Kinský, Nikolaus Lobkowicz, Franz Schwarzenberg, Karl Schwarzenberg, Father Angelus Waldstein-Wartenberg OSB, Daisy Waldstein-Wartenberg and the Thun family, the exhibition depicts the historical circumstances of their activities to maintain awareness of their common cultural roots and support compatriots on both sides of the border. It emphasizes their character, their special ability to face circumstances, and how their Christian faith, transnational family and political ties, and inherited sense of responsibility, among other things, shaped them. Aware of their common cultural roots in Central Europe, they built bridges across political, national and social divides and ultimately contributed to the political turnaround in 1989.

Opening hours: Tue-Sun 10.00-18.00 (lunch break between 12.00 and 13.00).

Admission 60 CZK, reduced 40 CZK, family 130 CZK.

In cooperation with the New Town Hall in Prague.
