Brno: Attractions and more...
Brno is also a major center of modern architecture. The late-19th century Klein
Palace was among the first structures built with modern technology (cast iron
features, flushable toilets); the Mahen Theater was the first theater in the
country to use electricity throughout the building.
Among other prominent buildings
are Art Nouveau, early modernist and functionalist structures. German architect
Mies van der Rohe’s 1929 villa Tugendhat is an outstanding example of
functionalist architecture and a milestone in the development of modern architecture
worldwide. Among other modernist landmarks is the Brno Exhibition Center, whose
set of buildings (built over the period of forty years, from 1930s to 1960s)
makes up a harmonious whole; over 50 fairs and exhibitions take place here annually.
Brno also offers destinations outside the city center – the city ZOO,
botanical garden, arboretum, and extensive orchards. Motor sports enthusiasts
flock to the Automotodrom Brno with the new Masaryk Circuit – a venue
of the World Moto Grand Prix. Brno is the seat of the South Moravian Regional
Administration (hejtmanstvi Jihomoravského kraje.)
