The Adolf Kašpar Memorial is housed in a building that the illustrator designed himself in Loštice. Kašpar, a native of Bludov, had the house built to his own design, including a studio with a view of the countryside. The memorial was established in the 1960s by the Šumperk Museum of Regional History and its permanent exhibition displays the studio furnishings as well as a collection of the artist's works.
