The Expo 58 exhibition will last another month, having been seen by 17,000 people

Prague - An exhibition about the lifestyle of the early 1960s, taking place under the title Brussels Dream at the City Library in Prague, has been viewed by around 17,000 people. According to the organizers, the show, which commemorates the glory of Czechoslovakia's participation at the World Exposition in Brussels in 1958, ranks among the most popular projects of the Gallery of the Capital City of Prague this year. The exhibition in Prague will last until September 21, and from the end of November, it will be available to view in Brno.
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the August events of 1968, a guided tour of the exhibition titled The End of the Dream will take place on Thursday at 5:00 PM with its curator Vanda Skálová. It will remind visitors that much of what appeared in Czechoslovak society at the turn of the 50s and 60s, also in connection with participation in the Expo exhibition, was cut short by the arrival of occupying troops.
For September 11, the organizers are preparing a fashion show Women and Femininity inspired by the everyday life of Czech women in the 60s.
The Brussels Dream exhibition started in mid-May and primarily focuses on the inspirational architecture, industry, film, design, and lifestyle that were showcased as part of the Czechoslovak exhibition at the World Expo Expo 58 in Brussels.
The exhibition aims to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the great international success of Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak pavilion in Brussels won 170 awards, including the main prize, the Golden Star, and became the most popular exhibit among visitors.
Expo 58 is a legend and has become an important milestone in Czech history, symbolizing the opening to the free world; at the same time, however, Czechoslovakia's participation in the 58 World Exhibition can be seen as a presentation of a communist state and can be understood as the peak of communist Potemkin propaganda. The exhibition aims to explore all aspects of that success.
