Under the patronage of the Ústí Region, three regional museums connect within the framework of the centenary of the founding of Czechoslovakia. They decided to commemorate this event as part of their exhibition activities. The year 1918 in the Ústí Region was specific due to its course, influenced by the numerous German population living here at that time. The project thus shows the October events of 1918 in various contrasts, whether it was the Czech town of Louny, the German town of Chomutov, or the ethnically mixed town of Most.
The exhibitions also reflect the phenomenon of the province of Deutschböhmen, the attempt by the Czech-German political representation to remain part of post-war Austria, and the subsequent reaction of the young Czechoslovakia. However, the main element connecting the joint efforts of all three museums is the activity and fate of Czechoslovak legionnaires, natives from the Chomutov, Most, and Louny regions.
The project was collaborated on by the Military Historical Institute in Prague and the Masaryk Archive and the Archive of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague.
