There is a ramp with a 14-degree slope leading to the hall. If it seems too steep, don’t hesitate to let us know. We will be happy to help you.

The film features music and voice commentary in selected passages. If the sound is not turned on (e.g., due to another event), you can use headphones.
The film is followed by a sequence of photographs of ten buildings, which can also be found in the large niche and in the DEVADE book.

- the timeline is divided into three categories: buildings, architectural events, historical events
If the text is difficult to read or the images are unclear, we will be happy to describe the guide to you.
