Our exhibition in Prague explores Czechoslovak perspectives on the work of UK writer George Orwell, particularly his novel 1984. That dystopian classic, published 75 years ago this year, found a particular resonance among the country’s anti-Communist opposition.
1984: George Orwell and Czechoslovakia is the title of a new outdoor exhibition that has just opened at Prague’s Kampa. The exhibition was accompanied by a Czech-English catalogue.
Organised by the Museum of the 20th Century, the series of panels comes with a catalogue of the same title, edited and part written by historian Petr Blažek. The interview was broadcast by the Czech Radio in English:
We thank for their cooperation Prague City Tourism, Museum Kampa, The Orwell Society, Libri prohibiti and Hlavní město Praha.
