Museum of Romani Culture, Cultural museum in Brno, Czech Republic
The Museum of Romani Culture is a museum in Brno dedicated to the history and traditions of Romani communities. The permanent exhibition presents a broad collection of objects including traditional crafts, clothing, jewelry, and historical records that document the lives of these communities.
The museum began in 1991 as a non-profit organization founded by Romani intellectuals with the goal of preserving their heritage. In 2005 it became a state institution under the Czech Ministry of Culture, giving it greater resources and recognition.
The museum focuses on the living traditions and daily practices of Romani communities, showing how their craftsmanship and cultural expressions have developed. Visitors can observe how these traditions continue through the objects and materials on display.
The museum is open on weekdays and weekends with afternoon and morning hours available to visitors. Plan to spend enough time to walk through the permanent exhibition without rushing through the displays.
The institution oversees two memorial sites dedicated to remembering the Holocaust of Romani and Sinti peoples. These locations extend the museum's work beyond its walls and provide spaces for reflection on this tragic chapter in the region's past.
