The Olomouc Archbishop Theodor Kohn is a significant, yet complicated, personality of the turn of the 20th century, attracting a number of researchers. Most of them have focussed on the affairs that led to Kohn’s resignation. This repeat of the successful exhibition aims at presenting also in Olomouc Archbishop Kohn mainly as a sponsor of art and a collector, who entered the cultural history of Moravia, for example, by the reconstruction of the Kroměříž Chateau and the furnishing of the Archbishop’s residences.
