Josef Hoffmann House, Museum and villa in Brtnice, Czech Republic.

The Josef Hoffmann House stands on Náměstí Svobody no. 263 in Brtnice, probably formed by joining two houses, the older dating from around 1500, and rebuilt as a Baroque house after a fire in 1760. Living rooms were upstairs, with service rooms on the ground floor; Hoffmann's 1907–1911 renovation added a ground-floor study, a new staircase and a courtyard pavilion.

The house probably arose from two older buildings, the elder dating to around 1500, joined into a Baroque house after a fire in 1760. Josef Hoffmann, born here, rebuilt it in 1907–1911, adding a study, new furniture and a courtyard pavilion. After 1945 confiscation and decay, it was restored by 2003 to its 1911 appearance.

The house is run jointly by the Moravian Gallery in Brno and Vienna's Museum of Applied Arts, and since 2006 it has held a permanent exhibition on Hoffmann's work. Its four rooms present his designs through photographs, drawings and three-dimensional models of major architectural projects.

The house stands on Náměstí Svobody, no. 263, in Brtnice, and is managed by the Moravian Gallery in Brno together with the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna. The ground floor holds the town's public library and an information and exhibition centre, while the Hoffmann displays occupy the former living rooms upstairs. The building is listed in the Iconic Houses catalogue of 20th-century house museums open to the public.

The museum's collection numbered 336 objects by 2011, most of them found in the rooms of Brtnice Castle. They include ethnographic pieces from Hoffmann's own collection, which he cited as inspiration alongside Otto Wagner.
