Town Museum and Gallery Svitavy<\/b>
\nM\u00e1chova alej 293\/1, 568 02 Svitavy
\nwww.muzeum.svitavy.cz<\/a>
\nThe history, arts, and crafts of the H\u0159ebe\u010dsko region are the main topics reflected in the collections of the Town Museum and Gallery in Svitavy. There is a special focus on the tradition of nativity scene craftsmanship, as well as on the history of washing technology. The local collection of washing technology features 192 examples of washing machines and 52 washboards \u2013 the largest collection of its kind within the Czech Republic!
\nAnother part of the exhibition is focused on the life and work of Oscar Schindler, who was local to Svitavy. A wide variety of educational programs and free time activities is offered not only to schools, but to anyone interested.
\nThe main priority of the museum has recently become the restoration of the 15-meter-long nativity scene from Svitavy, which contains mechanical moving figures. The importance of this unique example of folk craftsmanship extends way beyond the Svitavy region.<\/p>\n

The City of Brno Museum<\/b>
\n\u0160pilberk 210\/1, 662 24 Brno
\nwww.spilberk.cz<\/a>
\nEstablished in 1904, the Museum is in charge of the cultural heritage of the city. Its rapid development would occur after 1960 when the institution moved into \u0160pilberk Castle, the landmark notorious as the \u2018dungeon of nations\u2019, where, e.g. Italian poet Silvio Pellico had been imprisoned. In addition to history the Museum\u2019s expositions cover the artistic and urban development, especially the unique inter-war era, when Brno occupied a dominant position in the development of modern architecture. What serves as an excellent illustration is the Tugendhat Villa designed by Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and built between 1929 and 1930. It has been inscribed on the UNESCO\u2019s World Heritage List since 2007.
