The exhibition presents Art Nouveau in Bratislava as a Gesamtkunstwerk embracing urban concepts, architecture and the artistic embellishments characteristic of the era. It concentrates particularly on the phenomenon of the Ringstraße and other ring roads whose construction had an impact on the architectural designs selected for the buildings along them, whose shape and typology best reflect contemporary trends. The details and ornamentation characterized in the smallest scale the Art Nouveau from the final decades of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
