Icon Exposition

Eastern Slovakia


Slovakia鈥檚 largest collection of icons can be found just off the southern end of Bardejov鈥檚 main square. The religious artwork in this well-presented grouping, a branch of the 艩ari拧 Museum, is spread across two floors, and ranges from elaborate wooden sculptures to icons painted simply on canvas (a common practice among poorer communities). A soaring choral soundtrack piped through the museum heightens the celestial atmosphere.

The highlight is a broad, blue iconostasis from 1766, with numerous apostolic portraits and Biblical scenes.

Photography inside the gallery costs an extra 鈧2.
