Zdeněk Burian: He has seen long bygone worlds...

From May 11, 2011 (Long-term exhibition)

Picture gallery of Zdeněk Burian from the collections of the Moravian Museum

The Moravian Museum holds in its storerooms the largest collection of Burian's works embracing more than 200 oil paintings and gouaches complemented with a large number of drawings and sketches. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the artist's death (1905-1981) some of them are presented in a newly open gallery. Fifty representative oil paintings have been chosen from the immense quantity of Burian's works offering both the insight into the live of prehistorical men and their predecessors, and the famous reconstructions of animals extinct millions years ago. There is a special publication accompanying the exhibition.
