Exposition

Bohuslav Martinu Centre in Policka is located in the municipal museum on the corner of Tyl and Saff streets next to Palacky square. This historical building was donated to the Palacky Museum Guild in 1934. Until then it used to be a boy school which Bohuslav attended as a young lad. The building was also used as a theatre where the local amateur dramatics were performed until 1929 when the Tyl house was built and the production moved there.
