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 sits on Bratislavská Street in Zábrdovice, the neighbourhood known as Brno's "Bronx" and the centre of the local Romani community. The permanent exhibition, Příběh Romů, runs from the Roma's ancient Indian ancestors through their 11th-century arrival in Europe to the Second World War and the present.

In January 2018 the museum took over administration of the memorials at Hodonín u Kunštátu and Lety u Písku, two sites linked to the wartime internment of Roma in the Protectorate. The Hodonín memorial stands by the former camp cemetery, where a mass grave was found in 1997.
