Brno, Czech Republic (the art of Galleries of Brünn), Moravská Galerie Místodržitelský palác (Moravské náměstí)
About the property
One of the architecturally most impressive baroque buildings in the city of Brno, the so-called. Governor's Palace, is the Moravian Gallery in Brno connected only since 1990, when the Brno City Hall (shortly after the dissolution of the Museum of the labor movement) gave this institution.
Currently the first floor houses a permanent exhibition of art from the Gothic to the 19th century, which includes the Cabinet of drawings and prints, and space for temporary exhibitions. The ground floor is reserved for holding large-scale temporary exhibitions. The Governor's Palace houses the Baroque hall with a capacity of 150 seats, which is for special events and temporary exhibitions. There is also a bookstore and gallery cafe ArtMap Morgała.
The history of the building as one of the dominant Moravian (formerly Joštova) square is closely associated with St. Thomas and dates back to the mid-14th century, when it was founded as an Augustinian monastery close to the ramparts of the Moravian Margrave John Henry. Its Current form, however, acquired this building complex both in the 60s of the 17th century (architect Jan Baptist Erna), and especially by the Baroque reconstruction carried out during 30 years in 1752 under the leadership of Brno architect Maurice Grimm, after the end of which the convent was promoted to abbey . Due to Josephine reforms in the early 80s, the Augustinians were forced to move to the Old monastery buildings, in the vacated representative area, renamed "Dikasteriálního palace", for a long time state, municipal and corporate offices were placed. The following alterations, particularly those afflicting mostly the interiors, were designed by the Viennese court architect Franz Anton Hillebrandt. The palace after 1918 served for provincial authorities and as the seat of the President, however, the German protectorate authorities replaced the young Czechoslovak state authorities. Another major milestone in modern history was the decision on the allocation of the Palace to Brněnska labor movement Museum, which possessed the building from 1955 to political changes after November 1989.
