AB The study seeks to verify and complete the basic information about the history of post-war mosaic production, or the history of the most significant socialist mosaic studio in the Czech lands. Many of its artefacts have survived and came under scrutiny of theoreticians and art historians as well as the general public that slowly discovers qualities of post-war architecture and art. Hand in hand with such revealed interest, people often attempt to rescue and restore those artefacts. Therefore, this text should primarily be an elemental overview which supports interest in one of the important fields of monumental art.
