10 Museums in Moravia That You Shouldn't Miss

May 8, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Moravia (/mɔːˈreɪviə, -ˈrɑː-, moʊ-/ maw-RAY-vee-ə, -RAH-, moh-; Czech: Morava; German:  Mähren (help·info); Polish: Morawy; Latin: Moravia) is a historical country in the Czech Republic (forming its eastern part) and one of the historical Czech lands, together with Bohemia and Czech Silesia. The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (from 1348 to 1918), an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire (1004 to 1806), later a crown land of the Austrian Empire (1804 to 1867) and briefly also one of 17 former crown lands of the Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867 to 1918. During the early 20th century, Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1928; it was then merged with Czech Silesia, and eventually dissolved by abolition of the land system in 1949.

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.

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.

Wallachian Open Air Museum

Reviewed By prisam

What a delightful experience! We were at the Wallachian Outdoor Museum on December 5th. We arrived late in the day as the hillside became festive with families headed up the hill to find St. Nicholas and his angel helper so they could get a treat! Of course the devil was also close by, but he was chased away by the ever vigilant angel! So much fun to watch the children, many of them wearing either angel wings or devil horns! The demonstrations inside the individual small houses were very nice. I’m so glad we had the opportunity to do this. The fact that it was the eve of St. Nicholas Day was an extra treat!

Reviewed By Alda1965 - Stockholm, Sweden

I am local patriot, …. but if I can spread the experiencies of my friends from other part of Czechia or Europe or the rest of world, that is one of the best and pleasant suprise of their visit of Olomouc. It is a perfect combination of medieval architecture, with modern reconstruction, collection of religious artefacts, awesome golden archiepiscopal coach, contemporary exhition etc. etc. It is on the same place as St. Wencel Cathedral and Roman Bishop Palais.

Landek Park Mining Museum

Reviewed By milis2013 - Prague, Czech Republic

We made a reservation by phone in advance. We took a bus, then take into consideration some upto 20 minutes of walk till you arrive at meeting place (behind Harenda Barborka). The guides both in the mine and at the museum are old miners, find of their job. And you feel it from their every word, their effort to explain, what, where, why. They make the tour most atractive and you are getting back with a lot of information. You will go through mine some 420 metres below and so you will get the very exact idea how difficult the miners' work was and still is. The museum shows the rescue facilities, the guide added a lot of stories. We recommend to visit this place and many many thanks to the excellent guides!

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.
