Diocesan Museum

The Diocesan Museum Brno, a church art museum of the Diocese of Brno, stands right next to the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul at the foot of Petrov Hill. Founded in 1993, it now houses sacred artworks from churches and monasteries in the region that can no longer remain at their original sites. The permanent exhibition Vita Christi presents valuable pieces from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Baroque era, including the Madonna of Klentnice and reliefs from Mostiště. The museum building itself is a historic property dating from 1618, which originally served as the residence of the cathedral dean and was later remodeled in the Neoclassical style. Besides the permanent collection, you can also see changing special exhibitions here, some of which take place in the cathedral crypt.
