Vernissage of the exhibition From Manet to Babetta - Miroslav Štefanec - My Hobby.
Why did Mr. Miroslav decide to collect and repair old motorcycles?:
“Well, we grew up on these mopeds as boys and we still remember it to this day. After years I returned to repairing these machines, I tried many times to save them from being scrapped until gradually a small collection was created and repairs turned into restoration. I didn't even know myself what different types were made in Považská Bystrica, so I researched back then still without the internet, today it is simpler. A person has to enjoy it, it's a hobby and the technical heritage must be preserved for future generations as well.” ❤️

Encaustic painting is an art technique over two thousand years old, already known to the ancient Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians. It can be done on various materials—paper, glass, wood, canvas—and is suitable for all age groups. Due to its healing effects, it is classified among art therapies. Try it out for yourself.👌

In the new part of the manor house is our museum. In the first room, we will guide you through the history of the manor house, in the second, the history of Holoubek and the Local History Museum in PB await you, and in the last one, a beautiful exhibition "Painted into the Heart".🥰
