| Description | The article addresses the presentation of so-called difficult knowledge in small mu-seums, using examples from two Moravian institutions: the Municipal Museum and Gallery in Hustopeče and the private Museum of the Iron Curtain in Valtice. In the exhibition activities of both institutions, visitors encounter challenging themes, such as war and periods of oppression, focusing on the regional and broader historical context of the 20th century in Central Europe. The first part of the article explains the term “difficult knowledge”, gives its interpretation and defines the environment of small museums. It is followed by a presentation of the museums above in the second part. |
