Public History in Prague

With the city of Prague as their classroom, a group of NC State students recently experienced the power of public history. During a two-week study abroad course in the Czech Republic, six students visited medieval monuments, a concentration camp and nearly a dozen other sites in and around the capital city.

Students read about new sites each night, then visited them the next day. They studied how historians employ their expertise to enrich each site and also observed visitor interactions. For their final project, students even designed their own historical tours of the city.
