One hundred years ago, a revolution brought down the rule of the Wittelsbach dynasty and Kurt Eisner proclaimed the "Free State of Bavaria". On this occasion the cultural portal bavarikon presents the virtual exhibition "Revolution and Soviet Republics in Bavaria 1918/ 19". At bavarikon.de/revolution1918, 90 high-carat exhibits from ten cultural institutions have been made accessible recently. The focus of the exhibition is on the events in the capital Munich. In addition, also different developments in ten further places in Franconia, Swabia and Old Bavaria are shown.
