The gallery presents work of artists connected with the Turiec region through chamber author's exhibitions, extensive retrospectives and group presentations. It also offers the permanent exposition called Slovak Art Modernism in Turiec until the 1960s. Its concept is derived from the knowledge of art-historical facts and milestones which formed and defined the development of Slovak modern art with emphasis on the unique location of the city of Martin.
