Our great autumn exhibition, presenting propaganda which played a central role in World war I, was prolonged and will be open until April 9, 2016. At the time of WWI, propaganda was a radically new phenomenon and our exhibition aims at drawing its nature study. Total war required support from the general public, so all of the participating countries were keen on maintaining the patriotic and militant enthusiasm of their people.
