Ostrava's exhibition scene features numerous museums and galleries with varied focuses. For visual art, the House of Art (Dům umění) is a gallery of fine art, while PLATO serves as a space for rotating exhibitions of contemporary Czech and international work. The city also hosts a wide range of institutions exploring its history, from the Ostrava City Museum in a 16th-century hall to specialized museums dedicated to mining, railways, toys, and technology.
