The Slovak National Library invites you to the  the Apponyi family library in Oponice to the exhibition "Od Proglasu po ypsilon", which will guide visitors through the fascinating development of the Slovak language from its origins in Old Slavic language to the form it accepted in the middle of the 19th century.

On May 25, 2024, the discoverer of seven new dinosaurs, Martin Kundrát, and the first Slovak astronaut, Ivan Bella, will be guests at the Slovak National Library. We will look back into the past, when our oceans, land and air were inhabited by dinosaurs, and we will try to find the answer to whether their destruction could really have come from outer space. And there's one alive that's going to be wlaking and roaring around the library :-)

The Birth of the Book is the name of this year´s exhibition Gutenberg's library, which is prepared every year by the Slovak National Library in the Apponyi Library. This time we will go back in time to the period when the first printed books were created.
