Olomouc Museum of Art

The Olomouc Museum of Art – Muzeum umění Olomouc has more than 85,000 collection items (paintings, sculptures, drawings, graphic art, photographs, applied art and architectural designs) which makes it the third biggest institution of its kind in the Czech Republic.

The museum presents both long-term and short-term exhibitions of mainly 20th and 21st century art. Archdiocesan Museum Olomouc was established in 1998 in cooperation with the Olomouc Archbishopric as the first museum in the Czech Republic focused on spiritual culture. The building reconstruction was begun in 1991 and it lasted a decade. Since 2007 preparations have been carried out for the transformation of this part of the Museum of Art into the Olomouc Central European Forum.
