School class from the period of the First Republic (1918–1938)

The exhibition located on the 2nd floor of the south wing of the Přerov chateau shows a Czech burgher school (6th to 8th year of schooling) equipped with contemporary furniture and equipment, textbooks and teaching aids.

On the front wall next to the blackboard hangs a painting of the first Czechoslovak president T. G. Masaryk and in a niche to the left stands a statue of Masaryk by the sculptor Josef Baják from Přerov.

On the walls is hung a large coat of arms and a picture with the symbols of the Czechoslovak Republic and the slogan "From Šumava to the Tatras", a map of the Czechoslovak Republic with Subcarpathian Russia, plastic maps of the Ostrava company Falco and didactic paintings reminiscent of events associated with Czechoslovakia.

On the drawing board at the head of the class is the prescribed alphabet according to the model approved for schools, the shapes of the letters are simpler than they used to be in Austria-Hungary. These new shapes were not only easier for students to learn, but also for faster writing.

The all-wooden benches are designed for two pupils and are attached to the floor, have a fixed board for sitting, a separate backrest only in the last row (in the other rows, the pupils leaned on the benches behind them) and a sloping writing board. At the upper edge of the bench is a trough where students put pencils and pens, and a hole for an inkwell with ink.

In a large glass cabinet at the back of the classroom, period school supplies for various objects are stored, such as a telegraph and telegraph key, a section of a steam engine (locomotive), wooden botanical models of flowers, a model of the human ear and lungs or models of several farm animals.
