Description The lecture examines how three political entities in the interwar period – Hungary, Austria and especially Czechoslovakia – displayed their new identities at world’s fairs. These platforms were ideal opportunities to advertise a desired image of one’s own history, present and future, while comparing and contrasting it with that of others. Focusing especially on the architecture of the national pavilions and the sections of art and design, the lecture explores what patterns of continuity and rupture these presentations carried in relation to the Habsburg Monarchy.
