A preview of the historical appearance of the former Umelecka beseda building.
The former building of Umelecka Beseda (1924 — 1926; architects Alois Balán and Jiří Grossmann) became a milestone in the development of Slovak architecture on its path to functionalism. Its architecture, free from any decor, clearly respected the individual functions. Although the building is one of the smallest in the area, it dominates its surroundings and creates its atmosphere. It is one of the cultural monuments of the Slovak Republic.
