Boj o malé město (1900–1960) Příběhy památek a jejich lidí

The catalogue for the exhibition of the same name presents the preservation of monuments in smaller towns as a topic that slowly rose to the forefront of wider public interest at the beginning of the turbulent twentieth century. Using the stories of specific historic buildings across regions, it reveals the complicated fate of monuments in the maelstrom of modern times and highlights the personalities, often local enthusiasts, who have made significant contributions to the determined, if not always successful, efforts to save them. The narrative publication is supplemented by numerous historical and contemporary photographs, historic building plans and reproductions of key archival documents.
