Current temporary exhibitions available at SNG in Bratislava have been organised in cooperation with The Karlovy Vary Gallery of Art (Czech Republic).

1. “From the West. Slovak Art of the 20th Century from the Karlovy Vary Art Gallery Collection” is available until 14 September 2025.
   
   The Karlovy Vary Gallery of Art held a unique role within the network of regional galleries in Bohemia and Moravia up until 1989: it exhibited and collected Slovak art. As a result, a collection of paintings, works on paper, graphic art and sculptures was assembled here, providing a representative cross-section of 20th-century Slovak art—or more precisely, of what was prioritised in art collecting activities between the 1950s and 1980s. The exhibition features all the key figures of modern Slovak art, led by Martin Benka, Mikuláš Galanda, Ľudovít Fulla, Cyprián Majerník, Rudolf Krivoš, Albín Brunovský and others. The exhibition is organised in collaboration between the Slovak National Gallery and the Karlovy Vary Gallery of Art.

2. “Once Upon a Time” is available until 19 October 2025.
   The exhibition presents four Czech (or Czechoslovak) painters whose creative focus extends from the mid-1970s through the 1980s and 1990s to the present day. Especially in the 1980s, excellent paintings were created behind the drawn curtain of the normalisation art scene, saturated with existential presence, colourful and generous painterly gesture, and a desire to explore the possibilities of the painting, which almost no one saw at that time or afterwards.
