Evening in the Abbey – Saturday July 13th
The grounds of the Augustinian Abbey will form the backdrop for an evening full of culture and local flavours. The Abbey hosts the Mendel Museum of Masaryk University devoted to the founders of genetics, first and foremost Johann Mendel Gregor who was probably the Abbey's most famous resident. The Abbey Library is full of precious manuscripts that illustrate the importance of Brno as a centre of learning and a cultural hub. Culinary culture will form an important part of the evening – with an offer of local specialities – and you will also have a chance to taste wines from a South Moravian winery. An evening of culture cannot lack music - a string quartet will introduce you to music composed by famous locals as well as to a variety of folk tunes.
Start: 19:00, Augustinian Abbey Garden (see the map)
