Poland will appreciate the contribution of Olomouc Museum of Art to the quality of Czech-Polish relations by awarding its former director Michal Soukup with the prestigious Bene Merito decoration. Besides that, the music archive of Kroměříž, which is administrated by the Olomouc Museum of Art, will receive a personal gift from the world famous composer Krzysztof Penderecki.

Our unique collection will gain a great masterpiece of contemporary music, which will be presented among other masters as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pavel Josef Vejvanoský or Ludvik van Beethoven. This is a very special moment for us,” adds director of Olomouc Museum of Arts, Ondřej Zatloukal.
