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.

The museum is housed in a wonderful building dating back to the early part of the 17th century. At basement level there is a collection of treasures relating to the towns history. A really eclectic collection which even includes parts of a woolly mammoth. Elsewhere there was a display of historical clocks and timepieces going back over the centuries. On the first floor there is a magnificant display of the works of the Czech artist Max Svabinsky an extraordinary talent. On the second floor a super display showing Czech customs. Most of the information boards are in Czech and English. Staff are extremely helpful and accommadating.

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.
