The multi-medial exposition of The Lidice Memorial will offer a very emotive entrance to the history that any village within the protectorate Bohemia and Moravia could have suffered. The pictures of the old times, that became alive on the walls of the labyrinth of past, come out from the latest historical findings. They bring the World War II and single human destinies closer.

The new exposition comes from the conception of the winning suggestion that is based on confrontation of a strict concrete area with light scenes and pictures of people who do not live anymore and their village, on remembering of faces and names that should not disappear from our memory. As an opposite of the regular procedure in this case the largest part of the art solution of the future exposition is realized as a part of the building.

With usage of the projections the concrete areas become alive with prints of the pictures of the old times. The pictures presented by the projectors are cut from the authentic archive materials, photographs from the Lidice depositary and are completed by shots that were filmed in the style of family movies. The exposition has a reverent character and is created not only by the light projections but also by some items that survived from the damaged village.

In the base floor of the building there will be a historical extinguisher placed as a part of the exposition, further on there will be the museum depositors and technical background of The Lidice Memorial.

The author of the art part of the exposition is Mgr. B. Prokůpek, the authors of the historical screen are the employees of the Military Historical Institute Dr. E. Stehlík, Mgr. M. Burian and the author of the idea intention is Dr. J. Žalman from The Ministry of Culture of Czech Republic. The author of multi-visions is a documentarist Pavel Štingl.
