Rare Jewish ritual tools, gold-embroidered mantles protecting the holy biblical scrolls, unique photographs of students who had attended the famed Bratislava rabbi school that reveal even to this day the atrocities of the Holocaust.

For a taste of visual arts, pay a visit to the National Gallery at the embankment between Starý most and Nový most with permanent collections of Slovak and European medieval art pieces, although the temporary exhibitions tend to be far more interesting.
Bratislava City Gallery is also a good pick to see displays of historical fine arts, paintings and sculptures along with interesting temporary exhibitions.
If you like modern art better, pay a visit to the Danubiana Art Museum on the southern edge of Bratislava. It is about 20km from the city center, so too far to walk. Take bus nr 90 from the National Theater, a taxi, or drive. It is located on the Gabčíkovo Dam, a hydroelectric power plant.
Permanent archaelogical collections.
