Workers and Labour Museums - Presentation of emancipation and democracy development?

Original language description

The current museum expositions, which tell the workers&apos; stories, have been developing in industrial centres with masses of manual workers since the 1950s. The aim was to encourage shared class consciousness, pride of their working-class origins, respect to work and to enhance the political emancipation of manual workers. In the West, the original labour history museums are currently transforming into public discussion centres, tackling with social problems and promoting equality and democracy. In the ex-Soviet Bloc countries, the collections of discredited expositions are falling apart, or at best, they scatter in other types of collections. Their potential, showing the workers&apos; claims, strikes and protests, is largely wasted. In our workshop, we would like to deal with the issue of building a modern exposition based on the emancipation efforts of working population and capturing social emancipation of various marginalized/disadvantaged groups, which is a pressing issue in, but not only, the contemporary Czech Republic.
