Brno, Czech Republic - Capuchin Monastery

I spent a long weekend in Brno, Czech Republic (Brunn to German-speakers) in May. It just so happened that the Czech Republic's national ice hockey team won the world championship that weekend (Playing in Vienna). It was a good time to be in town. Brno is a nice little place where most everything is cheap. The food is good, lodging is easy to find, people are warm and friendly, and there are some nice sites to see.

I'll get some more photos from Brno online this week, but I'll give you these three to start out. These are photos of the Capuchin Monastery and Crypt, in the town center, close to the main rail station.

The church looks pretty plain from the outside.

The crypt underneath is a little more interesting. I believe these are the skeletons of monks who served at the monastery.

This is a masked mummy. Look at the right shoulder and you can see some of the skeleton's bones underneath the elaborate costume.
