History

Löffler Béla was a sculptor born in Kassa in 1906. He died in 1990 and left his collection on the town. He made the Rákóczi relief on the wall of the Cathedral of St. Elisabeth of Hungary, but his statues and reliefs can be found all across east Slovakia.

The building has been a gallery of contemporary art since 1993, where the collection of Löffler Béla can also be seen.

The museum uses the Slovakized name of the artist. The Hungarians were forced to Slovakize their name after World War II. The authentic Hungarian name Béla was Slovakized to Vojtech.
