The paper is devoted to the issue of permanent exhibitions, aiming special exhibitions in the Museum of Art, which is recently in the centre of international discussions in the field. Using the form of „case study“ it highlights the principles and form of permanent exhibitions, which currently offer museum institutions in Slovakia. The core of the paper is the concept of a new im/permanent exhibition of old art of the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava titled Nestex. Nestex is untraditional, in many aspects experimental model of Gothic and Baroque art installation offering alternatives for exhibitions of art in a specific area of Central Europe.
The overarching theme of the issue is the early modern culture and art of religious orders in Central Europe, corresponding with the editor’s professional interest as well as unfinished research of the past few years into sacred art of the early modern age, with an emphasis on monastic culture. The editor has developed the Central European dialogue pertaining to this many-layered and, in the past twenty years, intensively researched topic, a part of which is embodied in the published papers.
