Just as Mendel was a multi-faceted personality, this festival is also multi-genre, combining science, art and community dimensions. You can look forward to lectures, guided tours, concerts, videomapping, entertaining laboratories, a kids zone, and much more, on Mendlovo náměstí (map) from 11am on 20 July to 3pm on 22 July.
