The study explores the post-exhibition trajectory of buildings constructed for the “Czechoslavic Ethnographic Exhibition” held in Prague in 1895. Originally planned as temporary structures, the ethnographic village gained significant cultural and academic recognition, prompting widespread public and institutional efforts to preserve it. The paper documents the negotiations, petitions, and administrative decisions surrounding its temporary retention, as well as the challenges in maintaining these vernacular replicas under the evolving demands of urban planning and public safety. Despite initial preservation attempts, the village was ultimately dismantled by 1902. The article offers a detailed archival-based narrative of this unique example of heritage exhibition, its national significance, and the broader implications for architectural conservation.
