A popular exhibition of The Beatles memorabilia moved from Prague to Brno last week. Beatlemania! presents many rare photos and artefacts, including George Harrison’s original banjo ukulele.

It also focuses on the life of John Lennon and covers the history of “big beat” (local rock’n'roll music) in Czechoslovakia.

You may see the exhibition in Dietrichstein palace (a building of the Moravian museum) at 8 Zelný trh sq. for CZK 100. It is supposed to stay there until January 2012.
