BE-343674 The Museum of Communism in Prague, Czech Republic

The Museum of Communism is located in Prague, Czech Republic. It is a museum dedicated to presenting an account of the post–World War II Communist regime in Czechoslovakia in general and Prague in particular. The Museum of Communism offers a vivid account of life behind the Iron Curtain. A variety of fields are represented including: daily life, politics, history, sport, economics, education, “the arts”, media propaganda, the Peoples’ Militias, the secret police, censorship, judiciary and coercive institutions (including the Stalinist show-trials) and political labour camps.

It is the first and only museum in Prague (since the Velvet Revolution) exclusively devoted to a system established in the sphere of the former Soviet Union. Opened in 2001, the original items and installations containing authentic artifacts are displayed in the three main rooms of the museum and conveniently follow the themes of: “Communism - The Dream, The Reality and The Nightmare.”

This postcard came from Sietske (Postcrossing) and shows a Print Ad titled BABUSHKA commissioned for the Museum of Communism.  This Print Ad was released in July 2003.
