Museum of Applied Arts

The Museum of Applied Arts is a cultural building in Brno-město that displays crafted objects from different time periods. Its collection includes textiles, ceramics, glass, metalwork, and furniture spanning centuries.

The building was constructed in the late 1800s when interest in preserving and studying crafted design was growing. This period marked a shift toward recording and understanding design traditions across Europe.

The collection celebrates Czech craftsmanship traditions and their dialogue with global design movements. Visitors see how local makers' techniques are featured throughout the displays.

The museum offers guided tours and workshops to help visitors understand the collections more deeply. Regular events throughout the year make design and craftsmanship accessible to all.

The institution collaborates with contemporary artists to explore traditional techniques from modern perspectives. These partnerships connect heritage craftsmanship with current creative challenges.
