Brno - Dietrichstein Palace and Moravian Provincial Museum Dietrichstinsky Palac

The baroque Dietrichstein Palace (Dietrichstinsky Palac) was built in the early 17th Century for Cardinal Dietrichstein. It was designed by Italian architect Giovanni Giacomo Tencallo and is a typical example of baroque architecture in Brno. Today the Dietrichstein Palace, which was renovated in the 1980s, houses the Moravian Provincial Museum, which contains both permanent displays and changing exhibitions.

The five permanent exhibits cover a wide range of topics and time periods, including "The Extinct Life in Moravia ", the Prehistory of Moravia", "Great Moravia", "Moravian Village in Middle Ages", "The World of Minerals", and the "Professor Karel Absolon Memorial". The museum offers a comprehensive overview of the region and is a good option for visitors staying in Brno or those planning on exploring Moravia.
