"Remembering the xxth Century: A Journey through History" Step back in time to the early 1900s, a period marked by significant events and influential figures that shaped our world. From the devastating World War I (1914-1918) to the patriotic posters encouraging citizens to support their country's war efforts, such as the USA BONDS Third Liberty Loan poster. In this era of conflict, we witness the emergence of powerful weapons like Big Bertha M42, which left an indelible mark on military history. Meanwhile, in Russia, Igor Fiodorovich Stravinsky revolutionized classical music with his innovative compositions. Traveling further eastward brings us to Vlore in Albania where Independence Monument stands tall since its unveiling in 1912. In Budapest, Hungary's Millennium Monument proudly commemorates a thousand years of Hungarian history. The statue of Isa Boletini reminds us of his bravery and sacrifice during turbulent times in Shkodra. Nearby lies KV6 tomb or tomb of Ramses Setepenre Neferkare-IX – an ancient Egyptian marvel that speaks volumes about their civilization's grandeur. Stepping into art and culture, we encounter Luis Amigo Ferrer's bust capturing his essence as an accomplished artist from Spain. Alfred Lothar Wegener takes center stage for his groundbreaking theory on continental drift that forever changed our understanding of Earth's geological processes. Delving into Egyptology reveals Isis Pterophor from Ramesses III sarcophagus - a mesmerizing artifact showcasing ancient Egyptian beliefs and customs surrounding death and afterlife. Closer to home is Pula's Cathedral of the Assumption of Virgin Mary - an architectural masterpiece standing as a testament to faith and devotion throughout centuries. Finally arriving at Budapest's Heroes Square allows us to pay homage to those who fought valiantly for freedom and justice throughout Hungarian history.
