I know you're probably Brno'd out on Brno puns, but.... (Part 3)

Our second day in Brno we did a little more traditional sightseeing. First, we ate at Almek Chicken, a small restaurant that served fajitas. Once we were well fed we went to a museum. Moravske Zemske Muzeum.

The first part of the museum was old artifacts related to Moravian music. This dress--in my opinion--was the prettiest part of the display. Whenever I see dresses like that I always think of who would have worn the dress, and what parties they were going to.

Ty's reading some sheet music in the display.

Part of the museum was geological and some was about paleontology. They showed several geodes and many kinds of crystals along with this big hairy guy. At first I thought I was taking a picture with Ty. ;) But no, it's just a big fuzzy mammoth. 

This figurine was made by villagers in Moravia hundreds of years ago... now I know where the idea for Catdog came from!

There were lots of bones...

And a beautiful old bible.

When we were done perusing the museum we went somewhere a little more morbid: an ossuary. For 70 crowns they let us go into a scary basement full of bones.

there was one wall that looked entirely like this.

This was the top of a big room deep with bones. It is the top view from the picture below.

This should give you a better idea of how many bones were in that cavern. 

Yep, the walls made entirely of authentic human bones.

And the big display of the ossuary: all skulls laid out in a sick and twisted pyramid on top of long bones.

Ty and I were wondering who the people were that could take all of the bones, dig them up, carry them into the basement, and lay them out just so. It was disturbing to say the least.

It was actually so unsettling that the very next place we went was a cathedral.

It was stunning.

This was a massive organ situated at the back of the church.

The pews were very ornate.

And there were statues sprinkled throughout the church. All beautiful.

That night we discovered a gyro place. And it was probably the most delicious food we've had since being in the Czech Republic. It was so good that we ate it all before I even thought of taking a picture. Yum. :)

So with food in our stomachs and smiles on our faces we enjoyed the last night in Brno, and the next day ate lunch and headed back to Prague.
