- macedonboyGlasgow, UK185,729 contributionsThe Morovy sloup is a memorial column to give thanks for the end of a plague outbreak in Brno. The column, like many in Czech and Slovakia is in the style of a Marian column with the column topped with a sculpture of Mary cradling Christ as a child. At the base of the column is a large tomb. Standing on the four corners of the tomb are sculptures of four saints, one of which is St Sebastian, and the other three I think less well known saints. Inside the tomb is a sculpture of a victim of the plague.
The whole column has been sculpture in a Baroque style and stands prominently on the northwest side of Svobody Square and pretty difficult to miss. It's a beautiful memorial and worth taking the time to look at.Written October 17, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I can say I'm familiar with his work, but if his writing is anything like this sculpture, then he must've been good.
This sculpture is made from hollow steel tubes joined together to form the face of Jan Skacel in the manner of those pin art toys so beloved of office tables. A clever sculpture and plus one for the creativity.Written October 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I’m unsure how to rate this. The sculpture is an equestrian statue, but the horse has disproportionately long legs. Actually, bit the horse and rider are stretched out on the vertical like those crazy mirrors. Although I could not find a viewing angle to see if the artist had intended the sculpture to be viewed from a different angle.
The sculpture is right in Moravské square and worth a quick look if in the square.Written October 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is located in the lower part of the square in front of Reduta where the 11-year-old prodigy gave a concert with his younger sister, Maria Anna in December 1797. The statue is Mozart's symbolic return to Brno after more that 240 years. On his back is only one angel wind, a reference to his tragic death from illness while in Prague.Written December 4, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK185,729 contributionsThis monument was built to commemorate the liberation of Brno on 26 April 1945 by the Soviet Red Army. It's a fairly typical Soviet style war memorial with a sculpture of a Red Army soldier on a central column. Most like it depicts a soldier of the 2nd Ukrainian front, which is the unit that participated in the liberation.
The monument is a landmark of the city. Though it's not a must see, it's worth visiting when combined with a visit to Koliště Park and all the monuments in the park.Written October 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The monument is a stone sculpture featuring a life sized statue of Mendel wearing the attire of a Augustinian monk. Behind him is a wall, overflowing with plants, an allusion to his experiments. The monument stands on a low plinth which has a relief sculpture of Adam and Eve on the front, an allusion to inheritance.
The monument is located within the grounds and gardens of the university where he did his experiments. A doubly great way to honour Mendel. The monument is not a must see, but it's worth the detour to honour the man plus a chance to visit the site of his experiments.Written October 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They’re known in Czech Republic for writing dramas and plays, set in rural Moravia that explored gender roles and traditions. The two are considered a group of writers, authors, politicians etc that formed the Czech National Revival movement.
These sculptures are much larger than life, but realistic portrayal of the two brothers. Both are depicted as elderly gentlemen and stressed in the late 19th century formal attire. The two brothers are facing each other and appear to be deep in conversation with each other. The monument can be found at the rear ramp of Janacek Theatre building in Koliste Park.
It’s not a must see, but the monument is well executed and monumental in size. It’s worth visiting if you’re going to the park anyway and you can also see other monuments and sculptures while there.Written October 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
