Wartime Weekdays

Second part of our thematic exhibition series, presenting maps of World War I, aims at presenting civilian and military materials published and used during the war, as well as novelties of the world disaster, such as defense technology development, mass involvement and the involvement of the hinterland in total war. The title also refers to this concept; on the one hand, presented works include colorful, spectacular, propagandistic materials for those left at home and, on the other hand, unique military-topographic maps with handwritten entries will also be shown. A special display cabinet is dedicated to the topic of prisoners of war and military hospitals, and to the aftermath of World War I.

The exhibition will be opened by Botond Samu, staff member of NSZL’s Map Collection at 3 p.m. on September 29, 2016.

You are most cordially invited to the event!
