This museum is located within the grounds of the university and grounds where Gregor Mendel did his famous experiments on peas and plants. The museum is not actually that big, but about the right size for an introduction on genetics. Nearly a third of the museum is dedicated to Mendelian inheritance, which really takes me back to my school days. The remainder of the museum is split between the life of Mendel and more information about genetics, inheritance and some general biology. A fantastic museum that I could not miss while in the city. The museum is a great way to honour a man ahead of his times and brought us into the modern age of genetics.

Years after studying about the peas and Mendel in school I have finally made it to these grounds! It was absolutely wonderful. First you enter into the gardens where the magic happened. Then you will go into the building to experience the story line of Mendel’s life. There is a lot to read, there are games to play. You will enjoy it if you are into science! The guys working for the museum were very nice and helpful as well :)
Wonderful café and museum in a great location. Even though the outside part of the exposition is still in early development, the courtyard is worth wandering into, it's free and there are info panels on Mendel's life and work. There are two exhibitions inside the building and the tickets are not expensive. If you're interested in the abbey's garden, the staff will take you there. Definitely recommend for a little casual outing, the place has great atmosphere.
Well presented and very interesting introduction to Mendel and his contributions to science, set in the old monastery where he worked. It’s tucked away but worth seeking out.
As a biologist, is a privilege to be where Gregor Mendel developed all his studies in genetics. The place itself isn't any amazing, just an abbey, but the history behind it is too much. The Mendel museum is very didactic for people out of the field
A must visit if you care about scientific history! The exhibit itself is rather small but it has some very neat pieces from Gregor Mendel. This place is perfect to teaching kids about genetics. For me the attraction was walking the same garden and hallways that Mendel did.
One of the hidden treasures of Brno. The place where genetics was born. Very nice museum, especially for children.
Well worth the admission! I never knew studying heredity was a tiny part of Mendel's career. They have some cool artifacts if your a biology geek.
