The traveling exhibition "Forced to Leave – The Displacement of Drahany 1940–1945" presents this topic to the public on an unprecedented scale. Through the stories of 33 communities, it illustrates the forced displacement of Czech population during the Second World War.

About the venue: Vyškov Museum

Muzeum Vyškovska has been housed since 1954 in the old wing of Vyškov Castle, originally a Gothic fortress of the Olomouc bishops. It runs eight permanent exhibitions - seven in Vyškov and one in Bučovice. Highlights include a collection of folk faience pottery, among the most significant in Moravia, and an ethnographic display featuring a Haná farmhouse interior that was shown at the 1895 Prague Ethnographic Exhibition. A separate section covers the life and work of orientalist Alois Musil.
