About the museumIt aims to promote the legacy of Augustinian abbot G. J. Mendel, who is known primarily for his studies conducted on plants, peas in particular. However, one should not fail to mention Mendel’s other research in the field of meteorology, or breeding of bees.{{fact|date=November 2011}} Abbot Mendel has stood for an immortal icon of modern biology owing to his own persistence, diligence, and analytical approach to the heredity of peas and other plants. Therefore, he is rightly called the father of genetics. The work of this genius was only fully appreciated after his death. Therefore, one of the aims of the museum is to demonstrate Mendel’s genius, and to raise awareness about the fields of study students, as well as applicants for studies at Masaryk University, can encounter.

It facilitates an encounter of academics with the wider public. There is also a place for the world of art within the museum’s exhibition plans. The museum frequently stages short-term art exhibitions. ReferencesSee also
