About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of Brno, the Museum of Applied Arts feels like a well-kept secret that spans centuries.

Wandering through its rooms, you get this incredible sense of connection to the artisans and designers whose work fills the space.

Collection Highlights
You'll find yourself mesmerized by the intricate Bohemian glassware, which catches the light in the most magical way. Don't miss the collection of historic textiles and tapestries—the colors and details are simply breathtaking. I always linger in the furniture section, where pieces from Art Nouveau to Cubism show how form and function have danced together over time.
