The Pavel Josef Vejvanovský Conservatory is a music school with two fields of study, Music and Singing. In the Music programme students learn to play keyboard, string and wind instruments, the harp, percussion and folk instruments; the Singing programme focuses on classical singing.

Since 1950 the school has been based in the Baroque building of the former Piarist college. Construction of the college began in 1688 and was completed in 1694. The building directly adjoins the Church of St John the Baptist, which was built later, in 1737–1768, as the last part of the Piarist complex.

The building is part of the Kroměříž urban heritage reserve.
