At Old Town Hall you can in the exhibition called Silent heroism travel back in time with tablets, headphones and augmented reality. Specifically, you'll be transported to the Second World War or the 1950s. You'll hear the memories of people who resisted totalitarianism in both periods, and more. Thanks to the interactive screens, you can get involved in the stories yourself and experience the adventurous moments of their telling.
Mysterious Cellar under the New Town Hall takes you back to the times of mythical Brno legends, without which Brno would not be Brno. The place itself offers a contrast of ancient spaces, contemporary artists and new technologies. The local exhibition Fire Horse and Dragon will delight all the senses and playfully tells the story of the wheelwright Jiří Pirk, the Brno dragon and other characters from Brno's history. You can even experience the siege of Brno by the Swedes in 1645 for yourself. All this is presented in captivating animations.
