Through an example of rich cultural exchange, the exhibition at SNG Bratislava presents the interesting yet dramatic story of Hungarian-Ottoman relations during the 16th and 17th centuries. It introduces the period of Ottoman expansion in Hungary and the related mutual influences, especially overlaps of Ottoman material culture into Central European art.

The exhibition is the result of a six-year scientific research project in which more than twenty historians, archivists, art historians, military historians, literary historians, and archaeologists from various scientific and collecting institutions participated. It is the first time that such a broadly conceived exhibition-editorial output of this topic has been realised in Slovakia.

The exhibition is available from 6 December 2024 to 18 May 2025.
