The Museum of Romani Culture in the Bratislavská Street area of Brno is the only museum in the world devoted exclusively to the history, culture, and contemporary life of the Roma people. The permanent exhibition covers Roma origins and migration from South Asia, traditional crafts, music, and visual art, as well as the systematic persecution of Roma across Europe — particularly under Nazi occupation, when an estimated 90 percent of Czech Roma were killed.
The museum is run by a Roma NGO and the staff bring personal and community knowledge to the subject. The contemporary art collection includes work by Roma artists from across Central Europe. Temporary exhibitions address current issues of discrimination, migration, and cultural identity. The museum is in Brno's Cejl neighbourhood, a predominantly Roma area with its own distinct character; the surrounding streets give useful context for the stories told inside.
