Things to do in Brno, Moravia: The Best History Museums
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.

The museum tells the history of 13th-century Spilberk Castle, which until the 19th century served as a prison for common criminals as well as opponents of the Hapsburg Monarchy.

The villa and the garden are beautiful. I found the exhibition inside very interesting and well organised. It is divided into themes and lets you learn about architecture in Brno, the history of the Löw-Beer family, social issues and more. A large part of the exhibition is dedicated to Villa Tugendhat. As none of the original items survived, there is one furnished room that demonstrates what life in the house might have looked like.
5. Diocesan Museum Brno

4.0 based on 4 reviews
Diocesan Museum was founded on June 1, 1993 as the first of its kind in the Czech Republic. In 2007, there was then also opened a permanent exhibition Vita Christi - Life of Christ, designed by former museum director dr. Karel Rechlík. The most precious object of this exhibition is the painting of Madona from the middle of the 14th century.
