The MDH area in Brno- Líšeň
The public transport (MHD) depositary, which is available to the public is situated in the neighbourhood of Brno-Líšeň, which lies eastwards from the Brno city centre in premises of the former station of the local line. The site occupies an area of more than 1.5 hectare. The collection of twelve serviceable historic trams that is a part of the exhibition was taken over from Dopravní podnik města Brna (The Transport Undertaking Brno) in 1971. Disused premises of the former station of local line Brno-Líšeň were used for the construction of this museum.
The Technical Game-room
The Technical Game-room is not a typical exposition. It enables the visitors to become acquainted with various natural and physical laws and their technical application by entertaining and enjoyable means. It is focused on visitors’ interaction with physical or technical experiment. The visitors can handle the experimental models and observe the resulting reaction.
Ferrous Metallurgy
The exposition is devoted to ferrous metallurgy from the time when people began its acquaintance until the Industrial Revolution. The oldest phase of iron-production is documented by the archaeological finds and pieces found during the reconstruction of furnaces from the relics of old iron-mills. The exhibition focuses on the find of the metallurgical centre in Moravský kras from Early Middle-Ages. It is assumed to be the biggest centre of metallurgical production built by Western Slaves. Iron production in the period of Late Middle-Ages is documented through the use of model hammers and an exposition of a large furnace with several products. A new type of metallurgical technology along with a new type of furnace came to this part of Europe in the 17th century. A large charcoal furnace was able to cover the demand for iron and iron-cast until the beginning of the 19th century when coal was substituted by lignite coke. The demand for iron keeps increasing even at present but the technology hasn’t changed.
