On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the World War 1, Balneological Museum in Piešťany prepared an exhibition titled “Inter arma silent Musae 1914-1918” /In time of war, muses are silent/. The exhibition was intentionally made accessible on 29 July 2014, on the exact same day as the fi rst military operations started one hundred years ago – bombardment of Serbian territory from the Austro -Hungarian river gunboats. Through its exhibition, the Museum got involved in the chain of activities taking place in numerous institutions in Slovakia this year. When designing the exhibition, the ambition was to present not only the general facts of the World War 1 and facts regarding the history of Piešťany, but on the example of stories of people to also show the so called little history – how individuals were affected by the War. With the consent of their respective owners, the borrowed materials from private archives have been exhibited as originals, with a single exception when a reproduction was used.
