Villa Tugendhat be converted to museum?

Brno, South Moravia (čtk)
Swiss and Czech experts prepar a project of reconstruction and putting into the use one of the most considerable buildings in the world's architecture, Villa Tugendhat in Brno, which is to be most likely converted into an open museum.
In part of the Villa should be an exhibition showing the period of its construction and the other part should offer space for the creative work of architects and artists.
"Young artists should have the possibility to draw from the atmosphere of the Villa and the heritage of its architect Ludwig Miese van der Rohe", Pavel Liska, director of the House of Arts, said, adding that the Tugendhat Villa should stay alive instead of being converted into a dead museum.
The first part of the project should be finished by Autumn so that at least some of the money necessary for the reconstruction could be included in the municipal budget for the next year.
The project of reconstruction and a request to include the Villa in the list of the UNESCO protected sites have been already handed through the Czech Ministry of Culture to the relevant bodies in Paris.
The Tugendhat Villa construction was finished in 1930 and is managed by the Museum of the Town of Brno. The main living space with a winter garden which is only visually separated by glass walls is the most famous part of the Villa.
