The following text emerges from a roundtable held at the Center for Early Medieval Studies of the Department of Art History at the Masaryk University, Brno and entitled “Medieval Art Today, Why?”. It should be seen as an answer to a burning desire for scholarly intellectual debates going beyond the usual formats. Furthermore, we wanted to promote a reflection touching at least three different layers: a historiographical and epistemological reflection, a methodological perspective, and a political engagement. At the same time, through the debate, our desire was to show to our students the relevance of medieval art history today.
