On 18 January 2028, we attended the handover of the House of the Passion to the company Subterra, which won the competition for the reconstruction of this Renaissance palace to house the Museum of Memory of the 20th Century. The handover of the building also included a water reading, which we captured in the opening image.
When the museum opens, future visitors will find a permanent exhibition, a museum shop, a small seasonal café, a large conference hall, a library and a research room. We look forward to seeing you in 2025 at the Cougar House after its transformation into a living memory institution, a place to encounter the past and beyond.
The design of the libretto of the permanent exhibition also includes visualizations of the House of the Pážat, prepared by the IXA studio under the direction of doc. ing. arch. Tomáš Hradečný for the presentation of the upcoming headquarters of the Museum of Memory of the XX Century at the Centre for Architecture and Urban Planning (CAMP) on 30 November 2022. The recording is available here.
