"Today Is a Gift for You, Dedicate Yourselves to Tomorrow!" Prague Castle as a Space of the Transformation of Czechoslovak Society through Education, Technology and Leisure in the 1960s

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In 1960, the Czechoslovak Communist Party declared that socialism had been successfully established in the country. Prague Castle, an important symbol of Czechoslovak statehood and the seat of the President, was supposed to be transformed into a monument to the building of socialism. Its premises were not supposed to serve as a ‘passive’ reminder of this historical moment; instead, it was to become an active participant in the transformation of Czechs and Slovaks into ‘new people’ able to build communism during their lifetimes through the use of technological innovation. A special council consisting of well-known architects, artists, scientists, and politicians was chaired by the president in order to plan a network of progressive museums in the former royal palaces, monasteries, and churches of Prague Castle, accompanied by new, ostentatiously modernist buildings. As a result of political liberalisation during the 1960s, this project, which had originally focused on political education, slowly shifted towards the creation of a place for art and leisure.
