Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum

Danubiana was built in 2000 on a peninsula at the Čunovo waterworks south of Bratislava, financed by the Dutch collector Gerard Meulensteen and the Slovak gallerist Vincent Polakovič, and its position is the point: the building sits on a spit with the Danube on three sides, shaped something like a Roman galley, with a sculpture park on the grass around it. Exhibitions are modern and contemporary and change several times a year.

What you actually see

• The peninsula setting - the building surrounded by the Danube on three sides.
• The sculpture park - large works on the grass around the museum.
• The changing exhibitions - modern and contemporary shows several times a year.
• The roof terrace - a walkable roof with views along the river.

When to go

April to October is the best, when the sculpture park and terrace are pleasant. The museum closes on Mondays. The cycle route from Bratislava along the Danube is a good way to arrive.

Honest expectations

Getting there without a car means a bus, a seasonal boat or a long bicycle ride. What is showing varies a great deal in interest. The entry price is high by Slovak standards.

Nearby

Bratislava is north, and the Hungarian border is south.
