We cordially invite you to the exhibition THE STORY OF ONE BEDROOM, which is dedicated to the end of the war 75 years ago.

The story is told by an ordinary bedroom from the 1930s about the difficult times of its owners, a German and a Czech family. It was prepared by the museum library in collaboration with the furniture curator of the Regional Museum and Gallery in Most, p. o. - Alena and Diana Kvapil, Miroslav Vrba.

It will last from June 2 to October 25, 2020.

Information about the exhibition: The museum library, represented by Alena Kvapil and Diana Kvapil, in collaboration with the collection curator Miroslav Vrba, prepared a small exhibition in the form of a story of memories of an ordinary bedroom from the 1930s, which found itself in the museum's depository at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The authors of the exhibition drew from the materials of Jaroslav Drbohlav, from the family archive of the Laviček couple, and the photo archive of Jana Foukalová. The exhibition is conceived as a story of a bedroom that tells about the difficult times of its owners - the family of German entrepreneur Karl Krause, who became famous as a producer of children's biscuits and in 1945 committed suicide here with his entire family, followed by the Laviček couple, who returned from the concentration camp and purchased this bedroom for their new home: “...I loved my owners... Only when I thought about the troubled fates of both families to whom I belonged, it would have been beautiful if they did not have to experience their sad stories. The first was happy and ended sadly, the second on the contrary...”

“I did not tell you my story for you to pity me, but for you to learn from it.”

The exhibition takes place from June 2 to October 25, 2020, without a vernissage.
