Moravian Gallery in Brno

The Moravian Gallery in Brno, the second largest art museum in the Czech Republic, is exceptional for the wide range of artistic disciplines it covers. It is the only institution in the country collecting visual art that is concerned with painting, drawing, graphic art and sculpture – from the past and the present – as well as photography, applied art and design. The Moravian Gallery in Brno is a research organisation whose main purpose is to carry out basic research, applied research or experimental development, and to disseminate their results by means of education, publications or transfer of technologies. Founded in Brno in 1961 by amalgamating the Museum of Applied Arts and the Picture Gallery of the Moravian Museum, it is housed in three centrally located and architecturally impressive biuldings.

The Moravian Gallery in Brno sets out to present visual culture from within the Czech Republic in a European context, both through permanent and temporary exhibitions. To achieve its goals it works together with a number of institutions at home and abroad and participates in international projects.

The temporary displays and permanent exhibitions are enriched by an accompanying programme of lectures, guided tours, workshops, concerts and performances created to suit the whole rostrum of visitors. Special attention is paid to children. A testimonial to museum's accessibility is a collection of art for the blind and poory sighted and related exhibition projects such as Possible Messages and Invisible Cause.
