The Brno House of Arts (DUmB) is a Kunsthalle-type exhibition institution focused on contemporary visual art, operating without a permanent collection. Its main building on Malinovského náměstí was built in 1909–1911 as a Secession-style Kaiser Franz-Josefs-Jubiläums Künstlerhaus and rebuilt in a Functionalist style by architect Bohuslav Fuchs after World War II. The institution also manages the Renaissance Dům pánů z Kunštátu on Dominikánská Street and Galerie G99. By 2020, over two thousand exhibitions had taken place here.
