The new exhibition considers the collection itself, its creation, and the reason of its creation in different political situations. The other layer of our research is the permanent exhibition held formerly. We are in search of the coincidence and slips between the time of collecting and displaying the material.

It becomes clear that the scientific preparation of the exhibition and its fulfillment is a kind of self reflection which makes it impossible to measure ourselves and see how conscious we were, how we were influenced by the expectations, or provoked it ourselves.
