Discover the beauty of Brno’s Stiassni Villa: an exhibition of floral arrangements will enliven the tour route!

This exhibition of floral arrangements, entitled Flowers: An Experience for the Senses, will kick off the new season and, for the first time in nine years, bring a profusion of flowers to the Stiassni Villa, which was quite common during the time of the original owners. Hermine Stiassni, the lady of the house, loved flowers and gardening and devoted herself to tending and caring for them almost every day. In her garden, which covered more than three hectares, flowers were grown not only in flower beds but also in greenhouses. Having fresh flowers in the villa thus became a matter of course. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see the villa in bloom in the middle of winter and explore the state rooms in their most beautiful form.

The villa is open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tours always start on the hour, with the last tour at 4:00 p.m. The ticket price is CZK 260 for adults, CZK 210 for seniors and students, and CZK 80 for children.

Take a guided tour of the exhibition with head florist Slávek Rabušic, who will reveal information that no one else will disclose, on 7 and 8 February. We recommend purchasing your ticket online in advance so you don’t miss out.

You can also take part in a unique floristry workshop, where flower lovers can make a table decoration that fits in with this year’s exhibition theme and then learn how to arrange a spring bouquet in a vase. This workshop will take place on 12 February and places are limited.

The unique Stiassni Villa

This Brno villa, designed in a modern style, was created by architect Ernst Wiesner for the wealthy Stiassni family, who owned a textile factory in Brno. The Stiassni family enjoyed their villa for only a short time, similar to the Tugendhat family, because in 1938 they had to flee from the Nazis to the United States. After World War II, the villa served as accommodation for important state visitors.

The villa is very effectively connected to the garden, both through the entrance from the living room and through a large open loggia from the dining room. The smaller part of the villa housed the kitchen and servants’ quarters. The entire villa complex was complemented by a swimming pool, tennis court, garages, a gardener’s cottage and stables. Much of the villa’s original furnishings have been preserved to this day. The original windows and doors, including the fittings, still function today, as does the ventilation system for the windows. Original washbasins and taps, which are no longer available anywhere today, have been preserved from historical times.
