Guided tours

Dear fans of modern architecture,

Brno Exhibition Centre opens its doors to the lovers of architecture and becomes part of the Brno Architecture Trails project. This project was created in cooperation between with the city of Brno and the Brno House of Art thanks to financial support of the European Fund for Regional Development. Since September 2011, the Brno Architecture Manual (BAM - www.bam.brno.cz ) has been available for all those interested, and since the summer of 2012 a part of it is also a trail across the Brno Exhibition Centre. Its purpose is to present to the public the history and development of the Brno Exhibition Centre from the time of its construction to the present, especially the architecturally important compound of exhibition halls built for the Exhibition of Contemporary Culture in Czechoslovakia in 1928.

On our website www.bvv.cz/exkurze a database of architectural objects located on the premises of the Brno Exhibition Centre is available, with information on their creators as well as photographic and planning documentation. There (bam.brno.cz) are also audio recordings in mp3 format, read by important contemporary architects and famous personalities who describe individual buildings.
