Culture

The synagogue in Liptovský Mikuláš was built between 1842 and 1846 as a single-storey Neoclassical building. Following reconstruction in 1906, it acquired its present appearance. The synagogue has been open to the public since 1991 and houses an exhibition on the history of the local Jewish community. The Mosty-Gesharim concert is also held there every year.

Since its founding in 1955, the Múzeum Janka Kráľa has documented the history of Liptovský Mikuláš and made it accessible to the public. In addition, the Liptovská galéria Petra Michala Bohúňa is the third-oldest gallery in Slovakia and manages more than 5,500 works. The “Pôvod maľby” exhibition presents paintings, icons and sculptures from the 15th to the 19th century.

The “Hviezdy galérie” project is also aimed at children, schoolchildren and adults. It offers educational activities that can be completed individually and without prior reservation.
