The founder and long-term sole employee was the historian Iloš Crhonek. It became the second Czechoslovak museum institution, after the Technical Museum in Prague, to have systematically, now for almost half a century, built up a collection focused on Modern architecture and interiors. The current collection in the Brno City Museum ranks among the most significant in Europe for this time period.
