About this audio guide
This guide to Dom Umenia, the House of Art on SNP Square in Bratislava, starts in August 1958, when digging began on what was then still Stalin Square for a building made purely to show art. It follows the students who arrived downstairs when the doors opened in the mid-sixties, and the hobbyists who still share the house with the professionals. Stand facing the entrance from the square, where you can see the long upper floor.
