The main space within the gallery, a large room on the first floor, not only serves as an exhibition hall but can also be used as a conference venue, the ideal location for cultural and other events.

On the third floor – the building’s attic - we find another exhibition space which provides a more intimate and inspiring backdrop for displays. Both spaces have wonderful views of the spa park which lends the galleries a very special ambience and enhances the aesthetic experience of the works on display.

The gallery is open every day, tickets can be purchased from the tourist information centre on the ground floor.
