Current mainstream education and the prevailing interpretation of history in museums and schools do not sufficiently reflect the history of minorities currently living in the Czech Republic. In what forms and to what extent are museums addressing this topic? Do minorities constitute a fully-fledged part of the interpretation of Czech history in the public space, or are they treated more as a peripheral issue and as an addition to the prevailing historical narrative? The article examines how technology and museum education can be used to supplement missing aspects of Czech history that otherwise do not receive sufficient space in museum exhibitions in general, in history textbooks or education itself. Examples of museum education that illustrate these trends in the text are the new History Lab exercises on Romani history that are currently being developed in collaboration with the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes (ÚSTR), and at the same time an interactive program for children of younger school age. How can these activities contribute to a more inclusive conception of Czech history, which entails more than the history of the Czech and Slovak populations? How can museums contribute to this trend?
