Pražákův palác, Renaissance Revival palace in Brno, Czech Republic.

Pražákův palác is a Renaissance Revival palace in Brno featuring segmented facades and a distinctive crowning cornice. The building displays architectural elements inspired by traditional Tuscan palaces and contains multiple exhibition levels throughout its interior.

Alois Pražák, a lawyer and leader of the Moravian National Party, had this rental palace built in 1873–1874 as part of a neo-Renaissance ensemble designed by Viennese architect Theophil Hansen. After 1948 it passed to the state, and in 1985 it was transferred to the Moravian Gallery, which opened a modern art exhibition there in 1994.

The name of the permanent exhibition ART IS HERE comes from postcards that Jiří Valoch exchanged with his friends; his collection and archive form the core of the New Art display on the first floor. In the hall with Dalibor Chatrný's work, visitors slide down from the Modern Art exhibition on the second floor. A room reconstructs Valoch's flat, filled with art.

The palace is open to visitors on certain weekdays, and guided tours can be arranged upon request. A specialized library containing art-related materials is available for those who wish to explore the collections in greater depth.

The slide connecting the second-floor Modern Art exhibition to the first-floor New Art hall lets visitors descend into a room holding a work by Dalibor Chatrný. The name ART IS HERE comes from postcards that Jiří Valoch exchanged with friends.
