Leoš Janáček Memorial

The Leoš Janáček Memorial in Brno is an exhibition run by the Moravian Museum and dedicated to the life and work of the composer. It is housed in the garden house of Villa Chleborád, where Janáček lived with his family from 1910 until his death in 1928 and composed his most famous works, including the Sinfonietta. After the composer's death, his widow turned the furnishings over to what was then the municipal collection. The memorial is divided into two areas: the original, preserved study, with a historic piano and carved chairs, and a modern section offering documents, manuscripts, and multimedia insights into Janáček's creative work. The venue also regularly hosts exhibitions of contemporary visual art.
