Southeastern moravian village museum. Past, present, future
Novotný, Martin
The paper describes the more than forty-year history of the Museum of the Village of Southeast Moravia in Strážnice (eastern part of the Czech Republic), which was opened to the public in 1981. It is a modern museum institution that was conceived on the basis of a trend promoted in our country since the 1960s. The exposition was based on an elaborate architectural and urban plan. The successful implementation of this exceptional memory institution was based on a deep knowledge of contemporary realities, timing and a complex institutional and professional background in the then Institute of Folk Art (now the National Institute of Folk Culture). The result was a wellthought- out project based on interdisciplinary cooperation between ethnologists, architects, conservation workers and academic workplaces. All significant ethnographic regions and subregions of SE Moravia (ethnographic region of Slovácko) were included in the prepared concept. The aim was to present an urban complex where buildings, secondary modeled natural environment, exhibition equipment and surrounding greenery are in mutual balance. The Experimental Center of Clay Buildings is also a part of the Southeastern Moravian Village Museum. It is a specialist workplace of the National Institute of Folk Culture focused on applied research of extinct construction technologies that existed in the observed region. The main goal is their practical grasp and re-introduction into professional practice as part of the further activities of outdoor museums.
