Expozice Karla Kryla
About This Museum
People don't just stumble upon the Karel Kryl Exposition; they make a pilgrimage. Tucked away on Prusinovského street in Kroměříž, this unassuming museum is a heartfelt tribute to the 'Bard of the Czech Nation,' a singer-songwriter whose melancholic guitar and defiant lyrics became the secret soundtrack of dissent. You walk through rooms filled with his handwritten lyrics, personal guitars, and that iconic black hat, each object humming with the quiet resistance of a silenced artist. It feels less like a museum and more like stepping directly into the soul of Czechoslovakia's Normalization era. The overall impression is profoundly moving, a quiet and intimate look at the power of art in the face of oppression.
Collection Highlights
