Anthropos Pavilion

The Anthropos Pavilion in Brno is a museum of the Moravian Museum devoted to the earliest history of Europe and of humankind. The building stands on the right bank of the Svratka River in the Pisárky district. The permanent exhibition is divided into three sections, ranging from Moravian hunter-gatherers through the oldest European art and Paleolithic technologies to the genetics of human evolution and primatology. Among other things, you can admire a life-size mammoth model. The history of the site goes back to 1928, when Karel Absolon presented a groundbreaking exhibition. After a lengthy process delayed by the Great Depression and World War II, the standalone pavilion opened in 1961. A comprehensive renovation between 2003 and 2006 modernized the facilities.
