Summary/Abstract: The East Slovak Gallery in Košice was founded in 1951 as the first regional gallery in Slovakia. The rich artistic past of Kosice and its cultural potential predetermined this town as the seat of the first regional gallery in Slovakia. Its genesis dates back to the second half of the 19th century, when the foundations of today's East Slovak Museum, a key partner in the building of the East Slovak Gallery, were laid. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive image about the foundation of the East Slovak Gallery using acquired knowledge, archival sources and period contemporary press.
