"N'89-Road to Freedom" at Bratislava Castle

An exhibition titled N'89 - Road to Freedom, capturing the era of the late 1980s up to the 1989 Velvet Revolution, opened on Thursday at Bratislava Castle. The organisers - the Slovak National Museum, Nation's Memory Institute and Klub 89 - decided to expand on the project and add the aspect of the perception of freedom. The exhibition concludes with the first free election of 1990, the destruction of the Klement Gottwald Memorial [dedicated to the Stalinist-era Czechoslovak president-ed.note] and the renaming of Gottwald Square as the present-day Namestie Slobody [Freedom Square]. N'89 - Road to Freedom will stay open until November 22, 2020. Velvet Revolution has been commemorated and will be commemorated over the next weekend all across the country.
