About the SNG Art History Library
The Art History Library of the Slovak National Gallery was established in 1949, one year after the gallery’s foundation. Within the system of Slovak libraries, it is classified as a special library. It specialises in documents from the field of theory and history of fine arts, architecture, and related disciplines. Currently, the library's collection comprises more than 100,000 documents and contains one of the largest collections of exhibition catalogues in Slovakia. It also administers the historical documents of the library at Mansion Strážky, and a unique collection of books located at The Kornel and Nade Földvári Library.
