A palace becomes a gallery, and private rooms begin telling a public history of art.

Who Decides What Counts as Culture?

7 stops2.6 kmFree
Start tour
Culture likes to pretend that it simply exists, waiting for intelligent people to recognise it. Brno tells a less innocent story. On this walk, a noble palace becomes a public library, an artists' house has its facade ideologically edited, a bank learns to broadcast, a monastery becomes a governor's residence and then a gallery, and useful objects demand museum status. Seven entirely new stops reveal culture as a sequence of decisions: what to preserve, erase, classify, transmit, display and fund. You do not need an art-history degree. You only need to keep asking who was allowed to choose.
