The VVP AVU (the Academic Research Centre of the Academy of Fine Arts - "AVU Research Centre") is a centre for basic academic research, the processing of original documentation, and the critical evaluation and reinterpretation of Czech fine arts from 1945 to the present, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary study.

The goal of the VVP AVU is to expand the knowledge of the history of the local fine arts, as well as to place this movement into a broader international context. The transformation period of 1980−2005 is the subject of current study. The VVP AVU is in the process of compiling a documentation centre with an archive of textual and visual materials. A bibliobase − database of bibliographical information on Czech art and the i-datum − database of contemporary art project are available online.

The VVP AVU archive and library are available for reference use by appointment.
