Palác šlechtičen, Baroque palace and museum building in Freedom Square, Brno, Czech Republic

Palác šlechtičen is a Baroque palace located on Freedom Square that now serves as a museum and exhibition building with display spaces spread across multiple floors. The interior features preserved Baroque frescoes in its chapel and retains other historical elements visible as you move through the rooms.

Countess Jana Františka Priska Magnisová founded the institute in 1654 as the Institute of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary. Jan Křtitel Erna built the one-storey palace in 1674–1679; a 1680 bishop's permission allowed Mass in its chapel. In 1790–1791 V. J. Eitelberger added a floor and linked it to the Althanský palác. After the 1944 US air raid, Bohuslav Fuchs led its 1950s reconstruction for the Moravian Museum.

The palace houses the Ethnographic Institute of the Moravian Museum, along with the Children's Museum and the Museum Education Methodological Centre. Since April 2022 its exhibitions are "Puppetry Art" and "Traditional Culture in Moravia in the Mirror of Time", and the Baroque chapel is open to visitors. Public lectures and concerts are also held here.

The palace stands at the northeast corner of Náměstí Svobody, at the junction of Kobližná and Běhounská streets. The Baroque chapel is part of the exhibition and visitors may view it. The building also houses the Ethnographic Institute, the Children's Museum and the Museum Education Methodological Centre.

The chapel's late-Baroque frescoes are by Josef Stern and date to 1756, not the 17th century. On the confessional stands a statue of the penitent St Mary Magdalene by Antonín Schweigl, father of sculptor Ondřej Schweigl, whose works once stood on the altars.
