Bibiana – International House of Art for Children

Why visit

Bibiana is an exhibition house made for children. Instead of a permanent collection it builds interactive exhibitions where children touch, play, read and create.

It grew out of the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava, one of the world’s leading shows of children’s book illustration, and today also organises the Biennial of Animation Bratislava.

What to see

• Interactive exhibitions: themed shows created with illustrators, designers and scenographers; the current one, Ahoy! Danube, runs until March 2027.
• Illustration: projects and exhibitions linked to the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava.
• Reading room and library: children’s books and illustration, open on weekdays.
• Programmes: workshops and events for families, schools and the youngest children.

Plan your visit

Exhibitions are designed for children with their families; school programmes run separately. Allow about an hour for an exhibition.

Bibiana is on Panská Street, a few minutes’ walk from St Martin’s Cathedral and the Danube riverside.
