Our Lady of the Snows Church

Saint Vitus Cathedral
Charles IV planned this church for coronations, and therefore the construction plans were accordingly ambitious. The church was supposed to be even higher than Saint Vitus Cathedral, but the building was never finished according to the plans and the planned cathedral remained a church. Nevertheless, with a height of 33 meters, Our Lady of the Snows is the tallest church in Prague. You must visit this church on your Prague City Breaks.

Michal Lukes - The DG of the Czech National Museum

He runs a state institution with 650 employees. A deeply traditional institution, one of the strongest symbols of Czech nationhood. When he took up the post four years ago, he was just 27. A young historian with no managerial experience, but a very clear and powerful vision. A vision that is materialising very quickly under his able leadership. Let us introduce you to the Director General of the Czech National Museum, Dr. Michal Lukes. We asked him how difficult was it to take over such a vulnerable institutuion and what has changed during his four years of management:
" I have built up the structure of the museum from scratch. My predecessor is an excellent scientist and I count myself among his devoted admirers. But his apporach to the directorship was: 'The museum runs itself and I represent it'. SO there was no real structure and system running this institution. What I regard as one of my most rewarding long-term successes is the fact that nowadays you can hear or read about the National Museum everywhere. It wasn't the case four years ago. We are visible and the media are very interested in us. Including Guest@magazine (laughs)."

Another interesting site in Brno Wine District is Villa Tugendhat. it is one of the most important works of Functionalist architecture and is listed as a UNESCO monumen. The villa was built in 1930 for the Tugendhat family, reconstructed in the 80's and is now open to the public.
