Brno Underground

2016-05-24T11:47:42+02:00

The Brno Underground, open in three easily accessible parts, attracts those interested in looking under the streets and squares. The largest is the Labyrinth under the Vegetable Market, historically the oldest public space in the city, with an interesting guided tour. During the tour you’ll also get to peek in at the Mint Master’s Cellar under the Dominican Square and the Ossuary under St. James’ Church. This is the largest ossuary in the Czech Republic and the second largest in Europe and has the bones of more than 50 thousand deceased. Another highlight is the tour of the modern collectors, i.e. tunnels that are used for the utilities networks.

Open:

Labyrinth under the Vegetable Market: year round, Tues - Sun 9:00-18:00

Ossuary, Mint Master’s Cellar: year round Tues – Sun 9:30-18:00

National Technical Museum

The National Technical Museum- in 14 unique exhibitions

The National Technical Museum’s first permanent exhibitions were opened in the building at Letná in 1949. Naturally, over the course of time they have diversified and improved. The building, however, became obsolete and no longer served the original purpose for which it was designed and built. Therefore it underwent extensive reconstruction from 2003 to 2012. On 16 February 2011 the National Technical Museum once again opened to the public after an almost five-year hiatus. To mark the occasion it put on 5 new exhibitions including an upgrading of the Transport exhibition. In the following year it opened the Household Appliances exhibition. In June 2012 the museum expanded its offer with the exhibitions Chemistry around Us and Measurement of Time. The 8th of October 2013 saw a landmark in the National Technical Museum’s history. It opened the Metallurgy, Mining, Intercamera and Technology in Toys expositions with the Top Secret display. An attractive part of the Mining exposition are the coal and ore mines.

The National Technical Museum currently has 14 permanent exhibitions - Architecture, Construction and Design, Astronomy, Transport, Photographic Studio, Mining, Metallurgy, Chemistry around Us, Intercamera, Measurement of Time, Printing, Household Appliances, Technology in Toys, Television Studio.
