We will introduce you to a very dynamic and difficult period in the creation of our identity and show you through very unique sites the ups and downs of the previous century.

We will talk about the end of the monarchy, following the end 1st WW, the 1st CSR, Fascist Slovakia, Communist CSSR, The Federation and finally the modern Slovak Republic.
