Moravian Gallery in Brno (Moravská Galerie v Brně)

The Moravian Gallery in Brno is the second largest museum in the Czech Republic and lays claim to an exceptionally extensive collection. As the only institution in the country focused on visual culture, the museum presents paintings, drawings, graphic art and sculptures dating from antiquity right up to the modern age, as well as photography, applied art, graphic design and architecture.

Brno’s Moravian Gallery was founded in 1961, however its roots go back to 1817, when the František Museum was established. The gallery sits on five architecturally remarkable buidlings: the Místodržitelský palace, Pražák’s palace, the Museum of Industrial Art, the home of Josef Hoffmann in Brtnice u Jihlavy and the Jurkovič vila. The museum plays host to permanent exhibitions as well as to limited exhibits. The best known event hosted at the Moravian Gallery in Brno is the International Biennial of Graphic Design, which has been organized every year since 1963.
