Slovak National Gallery: Director's Choice

Established in 1948 by the Slovak National Council, the Slovak National Gallery functioned as a traditional Fine Arts museum showcasing local and European artworks. Over time, it expanded to include a rich collection of twentieth-century art, capturing the essence of contemporary culture. Now with a collection of around 70,000 items ranging from historical to modern and contemporary arts, the Gallery plays a vital role in celebrating and safeguarding Slovakia's cultural heritage.

In this new addition to Scala's Director's Choice series, director Alexandra Kusá has handpicked a curated selection of the Gallery's finest pieces. Each artwork offers a glimpse into Slovakia's artistic journey and cultural identity.
