Museum of Communism in Prague imitates the People's Cube

We knew that Prague hosted a glorious Museum of Communism, but we didn’t realize those comrades were also good at generating original humorous propaganda similar to what is being heroically produced by the People’s Cube Department of Visual Agitation.

The images were scattered all over the Internet, so the boys down in Visual Agitation spent quite some time collecting them from various sites and bringing them up to standard. This may well be the most complete online collection so far.

The museum’s theme is “Communism – the Dream, the Reality, and the Nightmare.” The immersive experience includes a historical schoolroom, an Interrogation Room, state-run factories, or the video clips in the Television Time Machine.

Other exhibits cover such topics as daily life, politics, history, sports, economics, education, Socialist Realism Art, media propaganda, censorship, the army, the police, the secret police, judiciary and coercive institutions, including the Stalinist show-trials and political labor camps.

If you’re not visiting the Czech Republic anytime soon, you can take this virtual tour, sit back, and enjoy the wonders of The Glorious World of Next Tuesday.

And then there’s the souvenir shop where we would probably spend as much time browsing their posters and postcards as we would inside the rest of the museum. See for yourselves.
