The museum has a fine if limited collection of pieces from the history of Olomouc. The reliquaries and monstrances are very beautiful, and displayed in an interesting and accessible way. They were the high point of the collection, and rivaled similar pieces in the Hapsburg royal treasury in Vienna.

A really good museum and worth spending an hour or 2 in when visiting Olomouc. I'd recommend getting the audio guide as well.

An excellent way to learn about the history of the Olomouc region. The museum contains a very large coach to sculptures to archeological gems to music to a wide range of art which were collected by the Catholic archbishops over the centuries. Entry was free on Sunday (many museums in Olomouc are generally free on Sundays). Otherwise, there is a... More

Olomouc does not have much museums to offer, but the Archdiocese Museum (right next to the Duomo cathedral) is in my opinion the best. I especially liked the way the permanent exposition was integrated with the modern concrete support structure for the excavations below the building. The exposition weaves through the building like the path in a maze (the employees... More

Included in the Olomouc tourist card as a free attaction but it is free on a particular day of the week (check the website if you don't want to buy the card). The building is interesting because you go into the basement and roof area to see the older footings and roof.

In the former Olomouc castle building you can visit nice museum showing artistic collections of Olomouc archbishops. You can admire golden coach used at official ceremonies, you can see archeological findings in the basement and also some last parts of former Romanesque Premyslid palace.

Shares the entrance fee with the museum of modern art. Currently at 50kc, just 2 euros, this is more than worth the price. In both museums together there is enough to see, in both permanent and temporary exhibitions. The archdiocese museum has been impressively refurbished to minimize the impact by visitors.
