Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art, Contemporary art museum in Medzilaborce, Slovakia.
The Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art houses an extensive collection of works by the pop art pioneer, featuring original paintings, prints, and multimedia installations that showcase the artist's complete creative range from his early commercial work to his most famous silkscreen pieces.
Established on September 1, 1991, through the initiative of John and Paul Warhol, Michal Bycko, and Fred Hughes, this institution became the world's first museum dedicated exclusively to Andy Warhol's artistic legacy, commemorating the Slovak-American artist's deep connection to his ancestral homeland.
The museum serves as a cultural bridge between American pop art and Eastern European heritage, displaying rare personal artifacts including Warhol's baptismal shirt and promoting regional Rusyn traditions through workshops, exhibitions, and educational programs that celebrate the multicultural identity of the Zemplín region.
Currently closed for reconstruction work to modernize its facilities and exhibition spaces, the museum typically operates with seasonal hours from May to September, offering guided tours and educational workshops for visitors interested in contemporary art and regional cultural heritage.
This museum represents the only institution worldwide exclusively dedicated to Andy Warhol located in his ancestral region, combining international pop art with local Rusyn cultural traditions and featuring authentic personal belongings that provide intimate insights into the artist's ethnic roots and formative years.
