Moravian Library

The Moravian Library is a modern civic building in Brno with reading rooms distributed across multiple floors, housing an extensive collection of research materials and historical documents. The spaces are organized to serve different types of study and inquiry, with specialized sections for rare items and contemporary works.

It was founded in 1770 as the Library of the Moravian Economic Society and grew as an independent research institution over time. The separation from affiliated institutions in the late 1800s marked a turning point that shaped its modern role.

The library holds rare collections including old maps, medieval manuscripts, and early printed books that connect visitors to the region's heritage. These treasures sit alongside modern research materials, creating a space where past and present coexist naturally.

The facility is open for extended hours on most weekdays, giving visitors plenty of time for research and study. Registration is required to use the collections, and certain specialized areas have different opening times to accommodate various types of research needs.

The Humanities Reading Room stays open until late evening, offering students and researchers extra hours for concentrated work beyond normal library schedules. This extended availability sets it apart from many other similar institutions in the region.
