Liptovská galéria P. M. Bohúňa
The gallery came into being in 1955 and is the third oldest one in Slovakia (after Bratislava – 1949 and Košice – 1954). It is placed in a historical and cultural centre of the city, in
a pleasant park environment.
The original building of the gallery dates back to the end of 18th century. Peter Michal Bohú, the artist of national revival and the classic of the Slovak fine arts of the 19th century, worked directly in its spaces through the years 1854 – 1865, like a teacher in a girl’s protestant school. The gallery obtained its present appearance after reconstruction and complementary building in the seventies of the 20th century.
The collection fund of the gallery represents approximately about 5,000 pieces of fine art – paintings, drawings, graphics, photographs, plastic works, from which a part is presented in four permanent exhibitions.
