Tatra Gallery
About This Museum
You'd never guess this sleek, light-filled art space was once the industrial heart of the town, belching steam to power a railway. Today, its cavernous main hall, flooded with natural light from massive windows, provides a stunningly modern backdrop for a truly global array of contemporary art. The curators have a knack for creating dynamic dialogues between the raw, industrial architecture and the international works on display. It’s a place where Slovakia’s industrial past and the global creative present collide in the most exciting way.
Collection Highlights
Expect to see everything from provocative large-scale installations that play with the building's scale to intimate collections of Central European painting. The rotating exhibitions are the main event here, often featuring surprising and boundary-pushing artists you won't find elsewhere in the region.
Visitor Information
Poprad isn't just a gateway to the High Tatras mountains; make a day of it and swing by the gallery. It's right in the center of town, so it's an easy stop after exploring the historic square.
Architecture & Building
A brilliantly restored early 20th-century steam power plant, where original brickwork and industrial features are preserved within a clean, minimalist, and airy modern design.
