How well do you know your city?
You're looking at the inner courtyard of the Spilberk Castle, and some of its famous features. The set of bells in the background, finely tuned in chromatic order so that they sound harmoniously together, celebrate the acoustics of the courtyard.
Many open-air concerts also take advantage of the excellent acoustics and poignant atmosphere of the place. For example, the Spilberk International Music Festival is happening this very month. There are still some tickets left, check the Brno Philharmonic's website.

Would you like to find out what your children could look like?
The new "Mendelapka", developed in Brno for Mendel's anniversary, allows you just that.
Who wouldn’t know Mendel? He knew that there was no pea like a pea. We still use the results of his research today. Would you like to test this in practice? Mind you, the app is more a fun test than to base any decisions on. "Our application does not aspire to be a scientific tool, but it does make use of basic rules of genetics." You can download the app for free at Google Play, though the version for Apple is only now being finished.
