Located at Kotva Department Store, namesti Republiky.
An area of over 2,000 square meters in the Kotva Department store has
been transformed into a museum which transports visitors back in time
to the last two decades of Communist Czechoslovakia.
The largest Retro Museum in the Czech Republic maps the design,
trends and everyday life of the 1970s and 1980s.
Emma Sommerová, the exhibition’s curator, explains how they put
together the entire collection, featuring around 12,000 items:
“Most of the items in the Retro Museum are donations. A few years ago,
we organised a Retro exhibition at Prague’s Dancing House, which was
a great success, and since then we started collecting the items with the
idea of starting a museum.”
