After the Great War 2021: Poznań | ENRS

About After the Great War exhibition

4 March – 5 April 2021, Poznań

The new outdoor travelling exhibition created by the ENRS focuses on the turbulent first years after the First World War. Over 200 archive and multimedia materials – pictures, maps and films together with individual stories of people who lived back in these times – present a complex yet coherent picture of New Europe established in Central-East part of the continent after the Great War.

Poznań will be the first stop of the exhibition in 2021. It will be displayed at Plac Wolności (Freedom Square).

We encourage the visitors to use the underground car park located under Plac Wolności (Freedom Square).
