Ladislava Horňáková is head of research at the Regional Gallery of Fine Arts in Zlín. Having studied at Masaryk University in Brno, she began working as an art historian and curator at the gallery in 1986. A specialist in twentieth-century art and architecture, she established an architectural collection at the gallery which today numbers over 4000 objects, in the process initiating a new focus at the gallery on interwar architecture, in particular that of the Baťa company. Over the years she has taken part in numerous conferences on interwar architecture and the revitalization of industrial monuments, while creating several exhibitions and being involved in dozens of publication projects on fine arts and architecture. She participated in the planning and execution of an exhibition within the EU Culture 2000 Fund entitled ‘Industrialization of Cities, the Environment, and Society – New Perspectives of Balance in the Countries of Northern, Central and Southern Europe’ and also prepared ‘Zlín – Model of the Industrial City 1910-1950’, which featured at the House of Czech Culture in France – Bohemia Magica in 2002.
