Finissage as Feminist gathering: Felt workshop, guided tour & musical picnic

The works from the Bratislava City Gallery´s collection included in the permanent exposition represent the Central European art of the eighteenth century. Selected paintings and sculptures provide a comprehensive overview of art production in Bratislava in the Baroque period, put in a broader, Central European context.

The Graphics Cabinets form the interior decoration in two rooms on the first floor of Mirbach Palace, having probably been commissioned by one of the original owners of the building. They are exceptional not only for their rococo stucco decorated ceilings, but also for wooden panelling into which are embedded 290 graphic sheets, engravings, etchings and mezzotints from the second half of the 17th and 18th centuries that have been secondarily coloured by unknown authors.

The international exhibition Grey Gold: Touching seeks to contribute to the discussion on the position of women artists, with the ambition to address the connections between age, gender, and creativity, as well as to highlight the late work of female artists from the post-war generations.
