The author examines how these exhibitions served as a platform to project national identity, modernity, and craftsmanship to an international audience. Through detailed analysis of pavilion designs, artistic contributions, and economic displays, the book highlights the challenges and strategies of representing a small nation on the global stage. It also addresses themes such as the commodification of culture, the role of eugenics in shaping national ideals, and the intersection of modernism with traditional crafts. Intended for scholars and readers interested in architecture, design, and Central European history, this work provides a comprehensive look at the socio-political narratives constructed behind the façades of world fair pavilions.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aNationalism and art$7Generated by AI 607 $aCzechoslovakia$7Generated by AI 615 0$aNationalism and art 676 $a907.4437 700 $aFilipova?$b Marta$01278975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910983096103321 996 $aCzechoslovakia at the World's Fairs$94317252 997 $aUNINA
