History

How does an image of a past historical age present itself to us? How did the people, and the things around them, look? Objects from everyday life and culture are on display in museum collections; the spirit of an age is reflected in surviving buildings and in restored historical monuments. However, the spectator – not being sufficiently prepared – cannot always feel the atmosphere of past ages. He must form a view of past times based on reproductions created by the makers of historical costume-dramas, or on conventional “toys” – the models employed by the makers of animated films.
