Brno, May 17 (BD) – Brno-střed District (city centre) and students, graduates and teachers of graphic design and multimedia from the Faculty of Informatics and Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology have prepared a special set of visual projections for this year’s Museum Night. The project, ‘Brrr-No’, has been inspired by some of Brno’s legendary sights.

“One of the most attractive installations will undoubtedly be the project of the illusory straightening of the turret of the Old Town Hall,” said Kateřina Dobešová of Brno-střed Town Hall.

The length of each individual multimedia installation will depend on the technical options available at the selected locations. Some installations will be on display during Brno Museum Night (Saturday 19/5) and will be repeated twice that evening. Others will be projected regularly until June 2.
