Zelný trh (Vegetable Market) ranks among the oldest city squares. From time immemorial, there has been a fruit & vegetable market here. As valuable or perishable food needed to be stored, the cellars were continually enlarged. The underground area enjoyed its biggest expansion during the Baroque period and in the course of time it became a nearly one-kilometre-long labyrinth of tunnels and cellars accessible either from individual houses or directly by special entrances from the street or the square.
A unique exposition of the Labyrinth under Zelný trh has been open to the public since April 2011. Everyone can enjoy it, adults and children as well. You can see various objects found during the archaeological exploration of Vegetable Market and learn how food, wine and beer was kept in the past or how and what lighted underground spaces. You can see the medieval alchemical and pharmaceutical laboratories and be able to try the cage of fools yourself. Sitting in a medieval tavern will enhance your impression of the tour and a small private joke of one of the ancient cellar owners, the Countess Amálie from Budna and Litice, is waiting for you at the end.

When you go down Brno’s Cejl Street you can see the nose of a transatlantic ship between the houses at one place. Hallucinations? No, this boat will never float on water, it is only that the Radost Puppet Theatre built a new home for the puppets of productions that the company showed over the last half century. So that they are not lonely on the boat, they have invited children, adults and everyone that loves puppet theatre. The new Puppet Museum, approached as a large ship of comedians, was ceremonially open in 2011. The permanent exhibition will show you how the art of puppetry in Radost developed from the mid-20th century to the present. The artists archive the best puppets from every play, so all of them that you see have at sometime appeared on stage. The exhibition changes gradually and is enhanced by an attractive puppet clock.
