ÚĽUV Gallery
Thematic exhibitions on Slovak folk crafts and how artisans use them today, from wire and wood to ceramics, textiles and metal.
Why visit
The gallery belongs to the Centre for Folk Art Production, the national body that has looked after Slovak crafts for decades. Its exhibitions show traditional techniques and how designers and makers work with them today.
Each show takes one craft or theme and follows it from village workshop to contemporary design.
What to see
- Thematic exhibitions: changing shows on a single craft, material or region.
- Craft and design: traditional pieces displayed next to contemporary work by today’s artisans.
- Multimedia information centre: presentations and materials for visitors interested in folk art and crafts.
Plan your visit
Check that an exhibition is running before you go, as the gallery closes between shows.
The gallery is at the centre’s headquarters on Obchodná Street, about five minutes’ walk from Hodžovo Square and the Presidential Palace.
