Moravian Museum, Research museum in Zelný trh, Czech Republic.
The Moravian Museum is a research institution housed in several historic buildings in central Brno. The collections cover prehistoric artifacts, natural history specimens, and scientific materials spread across the Dietrichstein Palace, Bishop's Courtyard, Mendelianum, and Anthropos Pavilion.
The institution was founded in 1817 by Francis II to manage scientific and historical collections for the region. Over the 19th century it grew into a major center for studying and preserving Moravian heritage.
The museum displays how Moravian culture evolved across different periods through objects from daily life and artistic works. Visitors encounter religious pieces and crafts that show what mattered to people living in this region over time.
The museum is spread across several buildings in central Brno, so it helps to plan which sections to visit first. Visitors should note that different buildings may have different opening patterns.
The institution secretly protected Beethoven's original String Quartet No. 13 manuscript during the war by hiding it from official inspections. This reveals how staff members used ingenuity to safeguard invaluable artworks during dangerous times.
