Landesausstellungen in Prag 1891 und Brünn 1928
by Alena Janatková
What role did Eastern Central European metropolises play in the culturalpolitical
changes before and after World War I? Focusing on Prague and

the new architectural developments associated with those exhibitions
as key projects of identity establishment and self-portrayal. German text.
