Regarded by many outsiders as a Romany ghetto, Brno’s Zábrdovice district is commonly referred to by the nickname “Bronx”. Now a new project entitled Městská galerie (Municipal Gallery) is brightening up the area with huge murals by leading Czech artists, such as František Skála and Eva Koťátková. The man behind it is writer and publisher Martin Reiner, who has an apartment there.
