On the first floor of the 8smicka art zone, you will find a collection exhibition with a graphic cabinet. The architecture of the seven-room apartment presents 100 works from the collections, and the hostess personally guides you through the apartment. Visits are accepted on the basis of a prior reservation every Friday at three times (11:30 / 14:00 / 16:00). The number of members of each visit is a maximum of 10 guests. Reservations can be made individually or as a group.

You can make a reservation via GoOut.

The collector's apartment was opened to visitors for the first time in 2020, and two years later the first minor change of the exhibited works took place, during which new works were placed in the existing architecture, not only from the local depository, but for the first time also from other prestigious Czech and foreign collections.

In November 2023, the apartment underwent a general pre-Christmas cleaning, and at the end of the year the doors opened to a new installation with previously unexhibited chefs-d'oeuvres from the collection dating from the 1920s, supplemented by other loans from private collections and state institutions.

The renovation of the apartment took place in cooperation with the author of the installation, Dominik Lang, and for the first time in practice it was shown that the furniture of the permanent collection is truly mobile, and thus it was possible to partially rebuild the scenography of our apartment theater. Many authors are newly exhibited. The female footprint is strongly evident. For example, Naděžda Plíšková, a neglected artist, member of the Křížovnické School and wife of Karel Nepraš, appears. Věra Jičínská's Three Acts is unique from the position of an author silenced by history. The apartment also has paintings by the Ostrava painter Hana Puchová or the work of Alena Kučerová, a recent recipient of a state award. There is also a new line of works that resonate with the Vysočina region. In the study hangs a self-portrait of Bohuslav Reynek created in nearby Petrkovo, in the bedroom next to each other you will find Gustav Mahler's Birth Certificate by Petr Veselý and the Great White Landscape by Jihlava native Čestmír Kafka. Younger authors are represented, namely Anna Hulačová, Tadeáš Kotrba, Jaromír Novotný or Daniel Pitín, as well as giants of Czech art František Kupka and Josef Šíma.

The collection exhibition also includes a graphics cabinet, in which a different artist and his work is presented every few months.
