The new interactive exhibition at the National Technical Museum presents a part of the Czech Innovation Expo project from 2018 dedicated to the history of Czech science and technology. With the help of the latest technologies, visitors can get acquainted with 9 personalities and their inventions or discoveries, such as Otto Wichterl, František Křižík or Josef Sousedík, and 7 selected industrial brands, such as Škoda, Koh-i-noor or Baťa. The pictograms used on the panels of the exhibition are a "small encyclopedia" that combines modern audio-visual art, design and technology.

The exhibition, organized on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Adolf Loose, is intended to recall the personality, work and basic ideas of the work of a prominent architect, whose legacy is still current and inspiring. Although Loos didn´t consider himself an architect, his views, and especially the work, influenced the generation of his contemporaries and followers - architects.

The exhibition is organized by NTM on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Petr Tučný (1920–2012), a leading figure in Czechoslovak industrial design. Tučný's authorial work and pedagogical activities also exceed the boundaries of the domestic design scene. In his designs of tools and instruments, he based on the latest findings in neurophysiology and aesthetics. Subsequently, he developed a remarkable design activity in the field of vehicle development and collaborated with many domestic manufacturers. The exhibits are selected from the extensive estate of prof. Tučný, promised as a family gift to the NTM industrial design collection.
