A quick behind-the-scenes look at the making of "Faces of Freedom," the new permanent exhibition at the NCSML, including interviews with staff and time-lapse footage of the exhibit coming together.
Sitting in a living room during World War Two. Lying on the bunk in a steam ship on your way to America. What did it sound like? What did it feel like?
Experience it in the permanent exhibit “Faces of Freedom: The Czech and Slovak Journey” at National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library. See rare artifacts, experience cutting-edge interactive displays, and celebrate your own culture with exhibits on puppets, music, and art.
Visit the replica of the steerage section of a steamer ship that brought immigrants to America. Stand in Wenceslaus Square amidst shaking keys at the height of the Velvet Revolution. View a Tatra secret police car, an authentic JAWA motorcycle, a replicated communist watch tower, glass, porcelain, and more.
This 7,000-square foot, state of the art exhibit will show you why “Faces of Freedom” is everyone’s story.
