The Nitra Gallery in Nitra was founded in 1965. Since 1965 the gallery is based in the former zhupa house which is a cultural monument and is a part of the urban monument reserve. This baroque building was constructed in 1784 on earlier foundations and in 1874 rebuilt into neo-baroque style according to projects of the architect Dümmler. In 1905 – 1908 architect Czigler rebuilt the building into a four-winged palace in art nouveau style both in the interior and exterior. The zhupa house is a significant part of the relicts reservation and is located at the entrance to the Nitra Upper Town.
Our programs nowadays aim at developing the visual art history research and presenting a current Slovak visual art in three exposition rooms where each of them represents a particular thematic field.
2002 Nitra gallery resumed the project “Gallery for Youh“ aimed at organizing individual expositions of talented artists of the youngest generation. This alternative and dynamic space provides an opportunity for presentation of students of University of Arts in Bratislava
We organize wide scope of cultural events and activities for public aimed at bringing contemporary arts closer to the people.
