Art in Your Pocket

The inspiration for creating this educational exhibition was Rozum do kapsy (Common Sense in Your Pocket) – a small pocket encyclopedia that has been illuminating the path of school years for many of you for over 50 years. Just like these small books, the Art in Your Pocket exhibition aims to provide a selection of fundamental insights, knowledge, and skills that every gallery visitor should know about art.

The goal was to create an exhibition that would be inspiring for regular gallery visitors, yet also accessible to those encountering art for the first time. Art in Your Pocket is actually the result of an experiment during which Moravian Gallery educators became authors. Their endeavor was to find a common anchor point within the broad spectrum of knowledge and information in the field of visual arts, from which we could collectively embark, deepen our experience of the art around us, and better understand it.

Art in Your Pocket can serve as a guide to the world of art, expanding horizons and strengthening the ability to perceive, appreciate, and understand art. It is also a social experiment that helps us to get to know each other better. The exhibition space of the Governor's Palace is divided into six chapters that open up themes related to people, things, situations, and circumstances that surround them directly and indirectly throughout their lives. Here you will find works spanning periods, artistic styles, and artistic forms. An integral part of the exhibition are information panels with concept cards.
