True Slovak spirit with a cosmopolitan New York touch.
WAY OUT THERE
The goal of the Nedbalka Gallery is to introduce to the wider public the amazing works of Slovak fine art from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Although the gallery focuses mostly on paintings, the collection also includes sculpture and print works too. They present the works through both permanent and temporary exhibitions, as well as monographs and exhibition catalogues. The gallery was founded in October 2012 as a private and non-profit organisation by art lovers and philanthropists P. Paško and A. Baroška.

All in all, a real indulgence for your taste buds!
LOCALISM
The gallery displays artworks of Slovak modern art and therefore the whole concept is linked to localism, making it an important part of Slovak history. When hosting an event at Nedbalka make sure to reserve a guided tour with one of their custodians to discuss the artworks exhibited at the gallery.
