Cunovo – Rafting

Peter Blazicek — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 02:42:01 +0000

One of the youngest museums of modern art in Europe – Danubiana – took place. The River Danube has lent the museum its name and the rest is the result of the enthusiasm and initiative of the Slovak gallery owner Dr. Vincent Polakovič and the financial resources of the Dutch collector and art patron Gerard H. Meulensteen. The framework of its impressive architecture is formed by its unusual location on the borders of three neighboring countries, Slovakia, Austria, and Hungary, but above all by the superb contrast of the wide expanse of water, open-air, and the endless banks of a dam.
This architecture evokes the shape of a Roman galley bound in the shallows of a river and its diversity provides the opportunity to put on a wide variety of exhibitions. Shows by leading international artists are alternated in the great hall on the first floor. On the ground floor, there is a gallery of contemporary art where the exhibits are on sale
