Museum Of Romani Culture

About

The Museum of Romani Culture was founded in 1991 as a non-profit organisation at the initiative of Roma intellectuals. Since 2005, the Museum of Romani Culture has become a state contributory organization of Ministry of Culture. It is an unique institution worldwide. Since the beginning, the Museum has primarily built collection funds (25 000 collection items) documenting the Romani culture and history. The original historical items – part of the collection are presented in the permanent exhibition called The Story of the Roma / Le Romengero drom. Apart from the permanent exhibition, the Museum offers a wide range of temporary exhibitions to the public. It also organizes the public events – the annual Museum Night, lectures and meetings, concerts or books promotions. The Museum of Romani Culture is also the administrator of the memorials in former so called gypsi camps Lety u Písku and Hodonín u Kunštátu.
