Kunsthalle Bratislava (KHB) is a non-collecting gallery presenting exhibitions of national and international visual artists. Based in the premises of the House of Arts in the center of Bratislava, it focuses on its mission to map visual art and make it approachable to domestic and foreign audiences. KHB stemmed from the decision of the Ministry of Culture on January 1, 2014, as a result of a long-term initiative of artists, theorists, and the wider cultural public for the creation of a representative exhibition space in the capital city. Originally, KHB was founded as the Slovak Visual Arts Center (SCVU) and was organizationally incorporated into the structure of the National Educational Center (NOC). From July 2016, it is a section of the Slovak National Gallery (SNG) with a special statute.

The visitors are accompanied by expertly trained mediators, who are ready to explain visual art to the audience. Read More...
