Gothic Art in Slovakia Water Barracks, 2nd floor Exhibition conceived by Dušan Buran The new permanent exhibition of Gothic art at the Slovak National Gallery presents the famous sculptures, panel paintings and reconstructed altars from the late thirteenth to the first quarter of the sixteenth centuries as well as acquisitions from the last ten years. Our ambition was to stage a visually attractive exhibition as well as to follow two basic goals: to present the medieval work of art as an aesthetic object and the object of a specific historical situation. To facilitate a deeper understanding of the works on display, we have introduced a new presentation system. The visitors can read informative texts accompanying some of the selected pieces. The arrangement of works on view indicates their geographical context, whereas the texts describe their content, style, liturgical environment and the problems of restoration and conservation. up | |
