About this tour
This session covers the Moravian Gallery across three of its rooms, from a historic palace facade to a display of everyday applied art. You see the building itself, a room devoted to regional painters largely unknown outside Moravia, and finally a design collection that balances fine art with craft. It is a broader look at the country's second-largest art collection.
I move at a steady pace between the three stops, since each holds a different kind of work. Questions come throughout, and I am happy to slow down further on a specific piece if it interests you. A short list of the gallery's current exhibitions follows afterwards.
This suits anyone interested in art history beyond the most famous Prague collections. It also works well paired with the Villa Tugendhat session for a fuller picture of the city's design heritage.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 6 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Brno before heading out.
-
Governor's Palace facade 17 min
The camera takes in one of the gallery's historic buildings, and I explain how the collection grew to become the country's second-largest after Prague's.
-
A gallery of Moravian art 17 min
We move through a room devoted to regional painters, and I point out a piece most visitors from outside Moravia have never encountered.
-
An applied art display 17 min
We finish among a display of applied art and design, and I explain how the collection balances painting with everyday craft.
-
Your questions 11 min
Time to ask anything about Brno: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 5 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Olomoucké tvarůžky (pungent Moravian cheese) and Kraví Hora, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.

- Times are shown in Prague time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
