MUSEUM OF ICONS (MÚZEUM EXPOZÍCIA IKONY)

This museum, an extension of the Šariš museum, displays magnificent 16th and 17th century icons. This exhibition reveals the mysterious world of Orthodox and Greek-Catholic holy images with a unique atmosphere. The harsh faces of the saints, the symbolic gestures and attributes, the colours with different meanings, the prescribed painting methods that give icons an ancestral mystical aspect, will all leave a strong impression on you.
