Visit Kotva department store is a registered technical monument of the Czech Republic at the Ministry of Culture, takes you to Czechoslovakia in the 1970s and 1980s. You will discover what children in Czechoslovakia used to play with, or what every socialist household used, from siphons to portable Tesla televisions, to furniture from UP Rousínov in a block of flats. The older generation and their parents know what they are talking about, but what about the younger generation? Some can recall the atmosphere of the 1970s and 1980s in Czechoslovakia and others can get to know them as authentically as possible in the Prague Retro Museum, which is open on the fourth floor of the Kotva department store.12,000 unique objects filled the area of 2,500 square meters in the largest design museum in the Czech Republic. Visitors can expect demonstrations of fashion, living, eating, spending free time, but also communist propaganda and the workings of the underground. The exposition is divided into fifteen thematic areas, mapping everyday life, design and trends in Czechoslovakia in a non-traditional way. Replicas of prefabricated flats are made in the main part of the exhibition. You can touch the classic Umakarta bathroom core, sit on the couch that almost every family had, and remember in the children's room, where you will certainly find at least a piece of your youth - or at least the youth of your parents. The real original kitchens are situated here, including all Tesla appliances and daily necessities, fully furnished living rooms, bedrooms and an announced children's room full of mončičák toys, collections of “Céčka“ and Merkur kits. Other expositions offer demonstrations of period electrical engineering and also an excursion to the best of clothing from Elite, Úbok or Svit companies. At the same time, we are dedicating to everyday life and lifestyle in what was then Czechoslovakia. Look forward to a show of work coats, overalls or aprons. We will take you to a period administrative office, where the secretary just ran away for lunch. And there is also the old familiar woman behind the counter from TV series. The installation also captures the typical interests and phenomena of the time, such as model making, collecting or the well-known cottage activity. We also present furniture manufacturing cooperatives such as UP Rousínov, Hikor Písek or Dřevotvar from Jablonné nad Orlicí.
