Water Day

This action has already taken place.

Come and celebrate World Water Day in Brno's award-winning water tanks, compared to the famous Istanbul Yerebatan cisterns. A visit to this unique technical monument is worth it in itself, but on 21 and 22 March there is a special programme at the price of regular admission. 

Guided tours 

On Saturdays and Sundays, four guided tours of the Water Tower No. 1 take place every hour to explain the history and current use of this unique technical monument.

Entry without a guide is not possible outside these dates.

Light installation and video projection 

Water tank No. 2 will be illuminated by the light installation The Underground Beat by Anna Laborová and Kristýna Uhrová, accompanied by a projection of short interviews with architect David Prudík and underground expert Aleš Svoboda about the restoration and importance of water tanks. 

Musical performance 

On both days, Vodojem No. 3 will host musical performances by musicians who are returning to the unique acoustics of the underground after previous VodojeMyArt projects.
