In the heart of town, this gallery brings the very best of old art together with exhibition projects by contemporary artists.
Its core displays include painting exhibitions devoted to two Štiavnica natives, Jozef Kollár and Edmund Gwerk. Among its most exceptional exhibits are two late Gothic wooden sculptures of St Barbara and St Catherine, attributed to the remarkable Master M.S. They rank among the treasures of Central European art and show how important and prosperous Banská Štiavnica was around 1500. The gallery also currently focuses on artworks that reflect green themes such as global climate change, nature conservation and sustainable living in the landscape, and it works with contemporary visual artists.
