The Baťa Skyscraper, in Zlín, Czechia, is a landmark of architecture. And the office of Jan Antonín Baťa … is an elevator.

Thanks to the museum staff for fact-checking and translation!

There’s a typo on-screen: Jan Antonín Baťa was born in 1898, not 1989. In my defence, that’s really difficult to spot.K
