Exposition on the Occasion of the 50^th Anniversary of the Opening of the Slovak National Gallery at Zvolen Castle.

The exhibition of Gothic art at Zvolen Castle, comprising works of medieval sculpture and painting, is unique in Slovakia in terms of its number of exhibited works and its focus on the specific time period from the 14^th to the 16^th century. With more than 70 works and paintings, it is a typical study collection.

Ľudovít Fulla (1902 - 1980) is one of the most important and original Slovak artists of the 20th century. His oeuvre, which he bestowed to the state (1969, 1977), is managed by the Slovak National Gallery – Ľudovít Fulla Gallery in Ružomberok, which opened to the public in July 1969. There, the artist spent the last years of his life, and it was a location of a permanent exhibition of Fulla's most beautiful works.

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.

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.
