In the entrance hall of the National Museum, exhibition about The August 21, 1968. Many visitors, some watch the projections of documentary films, some read the texts on the pannels. There are 3 archival audiofiles, which people can listen with the headphones. One of them is the archival recording of an interview of a girl with Jan Palach. who was then dying in the hospital, after burning himself publicly, not far from here on the Wenceslaw square.
