The Moravian Museum - Pavilion Anthropos
Anthropos Pavilion, situated in a pleasant park in Pisarky near BVV, founded in 1928 by the discoverer of the Moravian Karst underground and Věstonice Venus Karel Absolon, is the Central Europe's largest and richest museum focused on the earliest history of humankind and the formation of culture.
After extensive renovation from 2003 to 2006, today Anthropos presents the latest knowledge from anthropology and archeology in several permanent exhibitions devoted to primate ethology, genetics, human, anthropological and cultural development of a man, the most important archaeological finds from the earliest period of human history and the formation of the oldest arts. Anthropos Pavilion program is further developed by a rich exhibition activity, which systematically monitors the non-European ethnological and cultural anthropological themes.
