Things to do in Brno, Moravia: The Best Museums

May 14, 2022 Milan Banda

The charms of the Czech Republic's second-largest city may not be immediate, but spend a few days in this Moravian town and Brno's vibrant, authentic Czech ambiance will win you over. It's a fine way to experience Czech life without the teeming herds of tourists that visit Prague. Art Nouveau, Empire and Neoclassical buildings stand in the bar- and restaurant-packed old city center. Leafy parks abound. Be sure to get a photo with a local landmark, the suspiciously crocodilian Brno Dragon statue.

Vila Stiassni

Reviewed By UGM_BRNO - Brno, Czech Republic

I was lucky being invited to visit this Brno villa designed by Ernst Wiesner while rooms were full of flowers arranged by contemporary floral designers. One more thing attracted my attention - the fashion parade - hommage to Elsa Schiaparelli. My friend and me had our hats on as well and we applauded to beautiful ladies and their creations. We had enjoyed the inspiring moments and wish you to have the fall of grace too.

Moravian Gallery

Six centuries of European art plus works from Czech artists of the 20th century are part of the Gallery's permanent collection.

Reviewed By UGM_BRNO - Brno, Czech Republic

My life would not be complete without beauty. I am a fan of the community called Friends of the \Moravian Gallery and that is why I was inviited to stroll throughout the renewed exhibition named "Brno a Suburb of Vienna". You have my word that you will get excited. Artefacts presented are of many types: paintings,statues, pieces of period furniture, porcelain, textiles and jewellery too. My favourite part of the exhibition is the mirror maze. Do not forget your camera having the flash off, please. Enjoy every moment and repeat your visit as many times as you wish, the entry is free of charge.

Brno Technical Museum

Reviewed By Siemi_1 - Ens, The Netherlands

One of the reasons to come back to Brno was that we missed this museum last time. We looked this museum a lot. There are many different exhibitions. Of course we liked the cars. Both the Lada's were a trip down memory lane for me. My best friends dad used to have a Lada shop. Since I work in IT, the old computer stuff was great to see. The old game Room was a trip down memory lane as well. The bottom floor, with the open turbines and aircraft engines was interesting to see as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful, however, they are only able to speak Czech. That's something which applies to the whole museum. It's focus is strictly czech. As a result of which there is a huge exhibition about the Czech history and the falling off the iron curtain. I rated it the maximum of 5 stars, even when there are some drawbacks for foreigners. What didn't catch my interest is surely interesting for others. The game Room could have been a bit more hands on. It would be so nice of there were a few arcades from the past. The experimental centre at the top floor really needs English information. Luckily I paid attention at school and could explain some to my son. We spent around 3,5 hours in here on a hot day. It is advisable to go on a less hot day, since it is a pity to spent such day inside and the airco inside can't deal with such heat. All in all, very nice experience.

Anthropos Pavilon

Reviewed By UGM_BRNO - Brno, Czech Republic

I am very proud of this museum that is really unique. The building that was enlarlaged and reconstructed in 2006 houses both permanent and temporary exhibitions. So this time we were lucky to enjoy the stories Welcome to Neanderthals and Fight of Ichtyosaurs. It was nice to meet the model of mamoth older than 100 years decorated as being in love. We believe it is true that history is a great teacher and paleonthology has many things to surprise us and say "wow".

Brno Observatory and Planetarium

Reviewed By UGM_BRNO - Brno, Czech Republic

Astronomy is the science that fascinates people of all ages. I love to visit the programmes of the planetarium both with friends and alone too. It is always wise to make a reservation in advance as the performances are very popular. The Exploratorium is open free of charge and visitors can admire the beauty of nebulas.

Museum of Romani Culture

Reviewed By timystic - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

I spent a few days with a friend living right next to the Museum so decided to visit. It was an eye-opening experience into the history of the Roma peoples, and their experience, culture and oppressions under various Czech governments. I appreciated the resilience of the Roma peoples in spending centuries travelling across Europe, the beautiful connections of their crafts and music and dance - and their fall out with the Catholic Church for simply believing in a different form of Christianity (which ultimately caused the worst oppressions in Europe). Up until relatively recently - the Roma holocaust and the forced assimilation under Soviet/Communist rule. Considering I saw racism against the Roma in Brno myself, this context was really important. If you are passing through Brno or visiting, please visit. It should take you about 2 hours to go through the whole thing (There is an audio guide in English but you can also pick up a book at the front of the exhibit which has the same descriptions).
