Appeasement epitomised by the Munich agreement, is a pact signed in 1938 between Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy, which allowed Hitler to annex Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland (area along Czech borders) to prevent the onset of a major war. Appeasement has been drastically criticised since it ended in a “humiliating failure” when Germany attacked Poland in 1939 (McDonough, 2002).

Between the dates of 1 October, 1938 and 10 October, 1938 the northern and western border regions of Czechoslovakia, known as the Sudetenland, were ceded to the Third Reich of Germany via the Munich Agreement.

Hitler, then, promptly changed his orders so that the German military could seize the area. Regarding the issue as “a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing” (Crimea), he ended it with the signing of the Munich Agreement.

Edvard Munch was quoted as saying "We want more than a mere photograph of nature. We do not want to paint pretty pictures to be hung on drawing-room walls. We want to create, or at least lay the foundations of, an art that gives something to humanity. An art that arrests and engages. An art created of one's innermost heart." I believe in The Scream

The construction of the exhibits and the museum itself was strongly propelled by Hitler’s efforts and his opinions on art: on what to preserve and what to destroy.
