I was lucky being invited to visit this Brno villa designed by Ernst Wiesner while rooms were full of flowers arranged by contemporary floral designers. One more thing attracted my attention - the fashion parade - hommage to Elsa Schiaparelli. My friend and me had our hats on as well and we applauded to beautiful ladies and their creations. We had enjoyed the inspiring moments and wish you to have the fall of grace too.

My life would not be complete without beauty. I am a fan of the community called Friends of the \Moravian Gallery and that is why I was inviited to stroll throughout the renewed exhibition named "Brno a Suburb of Vienna". You have my word that you will get excited. Artefacts presented are of many types: paintings,statues, pieces of period furniture, porcelain, textiles and jewellery too. My favourite part of the exhibition is the mirror maze. Do not forget your camera having the flash off, please. Enjoy every moment and repeat your visit as many times as you wish, the entry is free of charge.

One of the reasons to come back to Brno was that we missed this museum last time. We looked this museum a lot. There are many different exhibitions. Of course we liked the cars. Both the Lada's were a trip down memory lane for me. My best friends dad used to have a Lada shop. Since I work in IT, the old computer stuff was great to see. The old game Room was a trip down memory lane as well. The bottom floor, with the open turbines and aircraft engines was interesting to see as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful, however, they are only able to speak Czech. That's something which applies to the whole museum. It's focus is strictly czech. As a result of which there is a huge exhibition about the Czech history and the falling off the iron curtain. I rated it the maximum of 5 stars, even when there are some drawbacks for foreigners. What didn't catch my interest is surely interesting for others. The game Room could have been a bit more hands on. It would be so nice of there were a few arcades from the past. The experimental centre at the top floor really needs English information. Luckily I paid attention at school and could explain some to my son. We spent around 3,5 hours in here on a hot day. It is advisable to go on a less hot day, since it is a pity to spent such day inside and the airco inside can't deal with such heat. All in all, very nice experience.

This is a labyrinth of wine cellars built many hundreds of years ago. The entrance is quite unassuming but once you get in you'll be amazed. Our tour guide met us with samples of local wine and then proceeded to explain why the cellars were built, along with what happened over the centuries to the buildings above ground. We were able to replenish our glasses during the tour! The wine was very good - the white wine that is. The red wine samples weren't that good but the tour guide did explain their red wine was still being developed. Being a white wine enthusiast, not a problem for me. The finale was a tasting of several varieties of local wine. These were classic Riesling or Hock - a medium light wine. The wine tasting was accompanied by food - classic cold cuts/cheese/bread. We were in a group, so we quietly (or not so quietly!) got on with enjoying ourselves! This is definitely worth going out of your way if you want to see something unique and you enjoy wine. But, don't drive afterwards!

I am very proud of this museum that is really unique. The building that was enlarlaged and reconstructed in 2006 houses both permanent and temporary exhibitions. So this time we were lucky to enjoy the stories Welcome to Neanderthals and Fight of Ichtyosaurs. It was nice to meet the model of mamoth older than 100 years decorated as being in love. We believe it is true that history is a great teacher and paleonthology has many things to surprise us and say "wow".

Astronomy is the science that fascinates people of all ages. I love to visit the programmes of the planetarium both with friends and alone too. It is always wise to make a reservation in advance as the performances are very popular. The Exploratorium is open free of charge and visitors can admire the beauty of nebulas.
