The exhibition focuses on architecture and lifestyle between 1956 and 1989. Lifestyle is a phenomenon where everyday experiences and perceptions intersect with architecture and design as creative disciplines. Against the backdrop of modernity, characterized by the transition to a post-industrial society, the growth of the tertiary sector, services, and significant advancements in telecommunications and audiovisual media, the specific Czech situation appears as a unique case study with distinct aspects of the political development of the Cold War. The aim of the exhibition is to move beyond the binary East-West perspective, artificially maintained since the fall of the Iron Curtain 30 years ago, and to make it understandable within a European context. The exhibition presents significant works from the Architecture Collection of the National Gallery in Prague, by authors such as Václav Aulický, Věra and Vladimír Machonin, František Cubr, Karel Prager, Alena Šrámková, and creative collectives like Sial Liberec, supplemented by photographs, films from the National Film Archive, and contemporary publications. **Chief Curator:** Helena Huber-Doudová **(ngprague.cz/Jana Černá)**
