The online archive presents the estate of Ester Krumbachová (1923–1996), a crucial figure of the Czech New Wave, costume designer, screenwriter, director, and artist, who worked mainly for film and theatre. The archive has been created on the basis of research into the author's interdisciplinary body of work, till now unexamined, and unfolds continuously in connection with projects interpreting the estate.
