    Great visit but I feel they can do so much more, especially if it comes to implications in science after his discoveries. Still a must visit.

    Very tiny exhibition, but still interesting, interactive, informative. If you're interested in history of genetics, you will not regret visiting.

    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.

    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 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.
