The Story of Czech Design

It outlines the development of design in the Czech Lands and acquaints art lovers with the colourful structure and network of the country´s people, associations, manufacturers and various institutions concerned with design, both in the past and present. It gives an insight into the designers´ lives through their works, which form the cultural and evolutionary memory and identity of the nation. The exhibition is supplemented with a collection of living icons of Czech design – objects which have proved their timeless value  by the fact that, among other things, they are either still being manufactured or their manufacture has been resumed.
