Documenting the eminent Prague Graphic School's century-long history since its 1920 establishment, this exhibition delves into the pedagogical contributions of its influential teaching staff and the early professional training of its students. It traces how photography, graphic design, bookbinding, conservation, and restoration were taught, and how former students significantly impacted visual culture both domestically and internationally. The exhibition details the school's origins, founded by the Chamber of Commerce and Trade and evolving from a vocational center to a progressive institution influenced by figures like Ladislav Sutnar, who embraced modern artistic education and responded to contemporary needs by emphasizing advertising and innovative teaching methods.
