The tradition of our Anthropos Pavilion roots back in the years of the Republic of Czechoslovakia (1918-1938). Thanks to the enormous efforts of distinguished Czech researcher professor PhD. Karel Absolon in 1928 our museum was able to open an unique exhibition made out of foundings from very earl periods of human history. The exhibition entitled ANTHROPOS received a great support from the president T.G. Masaryk and the well-known enterprenour, Mr. Tomas Bata. During WWII the exhibition was closed. It was professor dr. Jan Jelinek, internationally recognized anthropologist and museologist (former director of Moravian Museum and president of ICOM), who folowed the idea of the founders of ANTHROPOS. In 1962 the newly built Anthropos Pavilion hosted its first visitors.

Tradice soucasného Pavilonu Anthropos má své koreny v období první Ceskoslovenské republiky. Tehdy se díky mimorádnému úsilí predního ceského badatele prof. Karla Absolona podarilo ve specielním pavilonu "Clovek a jeho rod" na dnešním výstavišti soustredit v rámci výstavy soudobé kultury v roce 1928 nebývalé množství nálezu z nejranejších období lidských dejin. Pri vzniku této výstavy nesoucí název Anthropos se setkáváme se jménem prvního prezidenta CSR prof. T. G. Masaryka a prumyslníka T. Bati. Tato výstava zanikla v dusledku událostí II. svetové války. Na tyto tradice navázal v poválecném období antropolog prof. dr. Jan Jelínek, DrSc. (antropolog svetového jména, bývalý reditel Moravského zemského muzea a prezident ICOM). Stavba Pavilonu Anthropos byla dokoncena v roce 1962 podle plánu ing. arch. Františka Šteflícka. V roce 2003 byl objekt uzavren a došlo k zahájení generální rekonstrukce. V roce 2006 byl Pavilon Anthropos v modernizované a podstatne rozšírené podobe opet otevren pro verejnost
