This paper provides an entry point into the discussion on the forms of museum presentation of workers and labour in the 21st century, which can serve as inspiration for the Czech Republic, especially for new using of the collections of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. It offers an insight into institutionalised European museology of labour and workers. It first presents how it is embedded in global structures and gives three examples of how both the historical and present day workers movement, labour and the democratisation of society in Europe are approached. It presents these institutions as museums of (a) personalities associated with the social movement, (b) labour and workers, and (c) democracy.
