The Olomouc Museum of Art wishes you all the best for 2026

If you have some free time, be sure to visit the Museum of Modern Art, the Archdiocesan Museum in Olomouc, or the Archbishop’s Castle in Kroměříž, where exhibitions and exhibition cabinets are prepared for you by experts from our workplace, the Archdiocesan Museum in Kroměříž.

The latest exhibition of 2026 will be Idea del Bello | Idea of Beauty at the Archdiocesan Museum in Olomouc from January 29 to April 19, 2026. More than forty Italian paintings and drawings from the 17th and 18th centuries, arranged in chronological order, will present Baroque painting in Rome between two poles of opinion – naturalism and classicism.

In the first part of the new year, the Museum of Modern Art will present an exhibition entitled Maria Bartuszová | Small Emptiness (May 6–September 13, 2026). The exhibition interprets Maria Bartuszová’s most important works – smaller plaster sculptures and their bronze or aluminum casts, as well as large reliefs and objects, some of which have not yet been seen by the public.

From June 11 to September 7, 2026, the Archdiocesan Museum in Kroměříž will offer a selection of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and graphic prints from the collection of Patrik Šimon. The exhibition Figura contemplativa will allow visitors to observe the continuity and fundamental changes in the artistic interpretation of human physicality from antiquity to the present day. The human body is one of the oldest and most popular themes in the visual arts. From ancient ideals of harmony and proportion, through medieval symbolic concepts, Renaissance interest in anatomy and physicality, Baroque dynamics, to modern and contemporary approaches, in which the figure is often simplified and abstracted.
