Archdiocesan Museum

Big church museum that contains some of the most important paintings and items. Ground floor preserves the original castle remains and sculptures, the first floor exibits golden carriage and other religious items used in Christian ceremonies amd the second floor features many valuable paintings.

Friendly staff, clean and updated interior, very interesting exhibition objects, great architecture and location. Highly recommended.

I am fond of Olomouc, and this is my third visit in two months. The town is gracious and calm, and the residents are warm and friendly. One trait I admire is the pride that citizens take in their town. Every monument, and many historic buildings are labeled in Czech, German, and English — and the English is flawless. The Archdiocesan Museum reflects this same pride. The modern structure is built over and around the remains of the 12th century Romanesque bishop’s palace, among other structures. The signage (in English) is concise and informative. The collection of Madonnas is breathtaking. The 14th century Gothic cloister, with its 10 15th and 16th century frescoes is stunning. Helpful and welcoming employees made for an enjoyable afternoon.

Best staff went out of way to make a great experience.

Interesting museum to spend afternoon with many important historical artifacts from the Churches collection from Olomouc region of Moravia.
