Museum Day

So Tom and I spent Saturday looking at the museum in Brno, the Moravski Gallery, I should perhaps say museums however since the gallery is spread out over three different premises. We went first to the building on Hussova street where there was a wonderful collection on applied art and we got to look at different furniture, glasses, and clothes, along with some paintings. The other gallery is near Masaryk and we found once we went inside that there was a special Alfons Mucha exhibit for that weekend only. I love Mucha's work (in the post on St. Vitus's Cathedral in Prague I showed a picture of the window he created) and enjoyed the facsimiles of his posters and of Art Nouveau jewelry. The museum was also full of huge floral arrangements like the one shown below.
