Věra Čáslavská

Optimistic yellow color evokes the golden era of one of the most famous Czech athletes. The rounded shapes of the capsules also relate to the design of the 1960s when she was at the peak of her career. The distinctive color unifies the space of the hall and the anteroom. In the anteroom, an installation is created from a curtain featuring the main graphic visual of the exhibition and a beam placed on the ground, on which visitors can try their hand at balancing. A banner fabric with large-format printing is stretched over the original frame structure that remained from the previous exhibition. The light transparency of the material only emphasizes the gymnastic theme of the exhibition. A pedestal in the shape of a capsule with integrated showcases from the National Museum's fund is inserted into the main hall area.
