How did Antonín Dvořák perceive the German language? What was the relationship of the composer Leoš Janáček or the soprano Ema Destinová to the Habsburg Monarchy? What moved Karel Čapek and Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk to become so committed to peaceful German-Czech coexistence? The travelling exhibition of the Cultural Office for the Bohemian Lands "Bedeutende Tschechen" ("Czechs of prominence") provides insights into these questions.
