Slovak National Gallery
Slovenská národná galéria
A national gallery on the bank of the Danube, made up of a Baroque naval barracks and a modern 'Bridge Building.' It holds Slovak art from the Gothic period to today.
The main gallery occupies the site of an 18th-century naval barracks and the Esterházy Palace. Above it is a cantilevered 'Bridge Building' from the 1970s. The gallery reopened in 2022 after a major renovation. Its permanent displays cover medieval altarpieces, Baroque painting and 20th-century Slovak modern art, and it often hosts international temporary exhibitions. It is closed on Mondays. Some permanent displays are free, and temporary exhibitions charge admission. Check the official website for details.
