How did modern art and design emerge in Brno, and what were the methods of arts and crafts education? This publication captures the hundred-year history of a Central European school where local folklore traditions met with experimental artistic avant-garde, obedience to the political establishment with bold free-thinking, and traditional craftsmanship with new media.
It presents the results of team research and includes a number of original textual studies and previously unknown visual material.
It is published in Czech and English as part of the NAKI III / Places of Creativity* / Applied Arts Education – Constructing Identities, Preserving the Past, and Designing the Future project.
Graphic design by Jiří Mocek.

The book accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Brno House of Arts (October 22, 2025–March 8, 2026).
