Above the Divadlo hudby is the Muzeum umění, which hosts major exhibitions of contemporary art. There's something of a permanent collection in the attic, which features Art Nouveau stained glass from the vila Primavesi, modernist furniture by Anton Hanak, and a model of his strange Child over an Ordinary Day (a cherub standing over a four-headed plinth around which four snakes have wrapped themselves), originally positioned under the pergola in the vila Primavesi's garden. There's a good deal of turn-of-the-twentieth-century Czech art, including stylized Beskydy village-scapes courtesy of the great promoter of local folk culture Bohumír Jaroňek. You can also gain access to the gallery's vyhlidkova věž (lookout tower) for a rooftop view over Olomouc.
