The exhibition of Laco Teren (born in 1960 in Bratislava) at the Slovak National Gallery will present the key points of his artistic program and comprehensively capture his unique artistic and genuinely "versatile" personality.

The exhibition Into the Wild will present works of (mostly) contemporary Slovak artists focusing on the topic of wild nature. "Nature" or "wilderness" exist as constructs of human mind by which we oppose the "civilised", i.e. human-occupied and human-shaped environment.

The exhibition is an outcome of the authors' residency in The Schaubmar Mill in Pezinok within the exhibition project Into the Wild curated by Alexandra Tamasova. The residency was organized by the Slovak National Gallery and the works in the exhibition were materialized with financial support from the Slovak Arts Council.

The Central Slovak Gallery in cooperation with the Slovak National Gallery and the Banská Bystrica self-governing region invites you to the opening of the exhibition.

The mission of the experimental expositions is to present further content along with the collections in a wider cultural context and to provide a space for cultural experiments.

The Kornel and Naďa Földvári Library is a project dedi- cated to Slovak writer, satirist, art and literary critic, book collector and translator, Kornel Földvári. Preparations started together with Peter Krištúfek, writer and director, who for a long time has searched for a method of preserv- ing Földvári's large collection of books.

The exposition on the first floor in Zvolen castle gallery begins with the display of the cabinet collection of icons of SNG. The objects are the heritage of medieval Byzantine painting.

Exhibition on the ground floor of Zvolen Castle is compiled according to various criteria. This created a sequence of relatively independent exhibition rooms.

Opened depository of The Collection of old European paintings of SNG was created considering the planed reconstruction of the building of SNG in Bratislava.

This collection of 17th - 19th century portraits in the chateau in Strážky consists mostly of works from the galleries of the chateau's previous owners (the Horváth-Stansith, Szirmay, Mednyánszky and Czóbel families, as well as the Spiš families of Csáky, Esterházy, etc).

Ladislav Mednyánszky (1852 - 1919) is one of the prominent representatives of Central European painting of the last third of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The mansion in Strážky is the only place in Slovakia in which a permanent exposition of his work is presented.

A brief historical exposition introduces the history of the mansion and the municipality and the development of the families who owned the mansion. The beginning of the significant Slovak historical library, which is a part of the national cultural heritage, dates back to the last quarter of the 16th century. The library has developed continuously for 400 years and today it has approximately 8,500 books, magazines and maps.

The Slovak National Gallery is gradually building up its outdoor exposition of plastic art, in which the works of the most prominent Slovak artists of the second half of the 20th century are represented in the impressive English park, which sprawls across the landscape bordering the Poprad River.

The Gallery of Ľudovít Fulla in Ružomberok was built according to the design of arch. Martin Kusý Sr. in 1964 and 1965 (implementation by architect Štefan Hatala) to present and preserve works of art donated to the state by Fulla, one of the most prominent and original Slovak artists of the 20th century.

Fulla’s tomb, located in the cemetery in Ružomberok and designed by Martin Kusý, is also under the administration of the Slovak National Gallery. Fulla himself designed the interior mosaics and Ernest Zmeták designed and created the mosaic on the floor.

The Mill exhibit shows a development of milling in the Little Carpathians from the 18^th century till the 1950s. The historic estate was preserved in almost originals state, including the architecture and the technical equipment of the mill.

This first solo exhibition by Anna Daučíková (b. 1950 in Bratislava) presents her work as glass artist, painter, photographer, and performance and video artist. As the title implies, this is no retrospective, looking back to present finished work. The challenge is to show a selection of her complete and preserved pieces in a mutual relationship and connection with pieces she is now developing, along with others that she is yet to rework, finish, or otherwise create during the exhibition's run.

In 2020, Slovak professional theater will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of its founding, and in commemoration of this occasion the Slovak National Gallery is preparing an exhibition of professor Ladislav Vychodil (1920-2005), for whom this year will mark the one hundredth anniversary of his birth.
