About the projectVisit a unique place inspired by the Velvet Revolution
The Velvet Revolution Project is a project of enthusiasts who share a common belief that the legacy of the Velvet revolution has not lost its importance. We have all been influenced by the idea of life of freedom and truth. The Velvet Revolution originated on the streets of Prague and the main players were common people.
