Anthropos Pavilion

The Anthropos Pavilion is a specialized branch of the Moravian Museum in Brno. It focuses on the distant prehistory of humankind and the early development of Europe. Visitors go here to see Paleolithic artifacts and early human history, most notably the Venus of Willendorf, one of the most famous examples of prehistoric art.

Getting There

The pavilion is located a short distance from the center of Brno. Depending on your starting point in the city center, you can reach it via local public transport or a walk. The journey typically takes between 10 to 20 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to walk through the exhibits and read the accompanying information on prehistoric migrations and early human tools.
