• 18.00—23.30 CURRENT EXHIBITIONS: The History and Culture of the Blind

  Another display, this one part of the Culture of the Blind exhibition, is called "The History and Culture of the Blind", which we are organising to mark this year's 77th anniversary of the founding of Day of the Blind in the former Czechoslovakia. The objects, documents, and photographs on display show visitors how blind people were educated, how they worked, and how they spent their free time.
  

• 18.00–23.30 CURRENT EXHIBITIONS: The Motorcycle over Time "The Motorcycle over Time" exhibition presents the motorcycle as a phenomenon whose use and importance have changed over time: from a modern invention that was inaccessible to the general public and was initially perceived as an object of entertainment or pastime for the chosen ones, to a useful helper and a "cheaper" (more accessible) mode of transport for the public.

• 18:00—23:45 Motorcycle simulators / Climbing wall / Bungee running  We will again be actively involving visitors in Museum Night. Visitors can stop at our stands, which will this year focus on motorcycles and everything around them, competitive racing included. We will also be looking back to the glorious years of the Czechoslovak Grand Prix, and more.
  We would also like to display, in our outdoor area next to the aircraft: The winning motorcycle from GRAND PRIX 1961.We would also like to enhance cross-border cooperation. We have been promised participation from neighbouring Austria, from where they will bring and demonstrate the Norton motorcycle on which Austrian racer Rudi Talhammer won the Czechoslovak Grand Prix in 1961. The Brno circuit also has ties to the Norton make: the first ever motorcycle race there, in 1951, was won by our very own Antonín Vitvar on this make of bike. We will also remember other important Czech riders at the event: František Št'astný, Čada, and others.
  In the event of rain, the outdoor programme by the aircraft will be limited for technical reasons.
  Change of programme reserved.
  Visitors can use special bus line A to transport themselves to and from the Technical Museum in Brno. The bus departs the "Česká" stop and stops at "Klusáčkova" and "Skácelova". There will also be links in buses from the collections of the Technical Museum in Brno.
  
• 18:00—23:30 CURRENT EXHIBITIONS: ENIGMA – the secret world of ciphers

  Come to the Technical Museum in Brno to visit a quite unique exhibition - "ENIGMA – the secret world of ciphers", which displays the legendary ENIGMA M3 cipher machine in the Czech Republic for the very first time. The exhibition has been borrowed from the Slovak Technical Museum, which acquired the machine in 2020. It is an extremely rare and unique exhibit of which there are only a few dozen preserved originals in Europe, and only in Poland when it comes to the countries around the Czech Republic. Several modifications of the ENIGMA device were used, mainly by German armed forces before the outbreak and during the Second World War, in which it played an important role, paradoxically on both sides of the conflict. The machine was able to create more than 100 million combinations, which is why the German army considered encryption using this device to be unbreakable. The exhibition tells the fascinating story of ENIGMA itself and offers a look into the history of cryptology and how it is reflected in the life of ordinary people.
