Accommodation Stredoslovenská galéria

In the town of Banská Bystrica, you will find the unique Stredoslovenskú galériu, which focuses on the presentation, collection, and research of modern and contemporary art. Its exhibitions are housed in as many as three historical buildings in the center of Banskej Bystrice. Do not miss the opportunity to take a peek into artistic circles and thus broaden your horizons when visiting this beautiful town in central Slovakia.

In addition to collecting activities, the regional gallery also focuses on educational and curatorial projects intended for the general public. It enriches its projects and exhibitions with a accompanying program of various artistic directions such as dance, music, film, or contemporary literature. Therefore, almost all your senses will be engaged when visiting the gallery.

You can view short-term exhibitions in the building of the former town hall, also known as Pretórium or in the Bethlenovom dome. One permanent exhibition is located in the family villa of the artist and painter Dominika Skuteckého. Along with his painterly work, you can also view the garden of the family residence. The work of this regional artist excels in mastery of techniques and qualities characteristic of traditional Italian painting. He acquired these skills during his long-term work in Viedni and Benátkach.

Pretórium was once part of the municipal castle area, which was built at the beginning of the 16th century. Today, it represents an experimental space for the presentation of domestic and foreign visual art. In 5 modern exhibition halls spread across 3 floors, you will view various forms of exhibitions, vernissages, and curatorial tours.

Bethlenov dom, which is a typical burgher building from the end of the 14th century, is a venue for exhibitions of works originating not only from the gallery's collections but also borrowed works from renowned collection funds and studios. Special exhibitions are held mainly in the autumn period.

All three places, Pretórium, Bethelnov dom, and Vila Dominka Skuteckého, are open to the public every day except Monday. In addition to exhibitions and collections, the gallery also engages in pedagogical activities in the form of lectures for schools or the public, animation programs, creative workshops, or specially focused long-term educational projects. In the collections of the Stredoslovenskej galérie, you will find more than 13,000 items in the fields of graphics, drawing, painting, and sculpture.
