The city of Zilina (Slovak: ilina, Hungarian: Zsolna; German: Sillein) is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in Slovakia. It is the fourth largest city in the country and an important industrial center with a population of 80,000 people. The centre of the city is a pedestrian zone with many restaurants and stylish cafes. The city is also famous for its annual festivals and various cultural and sporting events throughout the year.

The Museum of Art in the city is a unique gallery that presents both new media such as installation and site specific work and classics such as painting, sculpture, graphics and poster. Its exhibition programme also includes annual curatorial projects with well-established Slovak artists.
It is one of the few museums in Slovakia that focuses on drawing and aims to present Slovak drawing as an independent discipline within the context of modern art. It has been a leading centre of Slovak drawing since 1976 and regularly showcases works from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts.
Roman Ondak is a Slovak painter who was born in 1966 in the town of Zilina in what was then Czechoslovakia, before the Velvet Revolution saw the split of the country into two independent states. He studied from 1988 to 1994 at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. He has exhibited widely in the Czech Republic and internationally. He is a member of the Slovak Association of Artists and the CCA Prague.
Slovak painters have been a source of inspiration for a number of other European and American art movements. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a number of Slovak painters became influential as representatives of the Central European response to Impressionism. Among them were Dominik Skutecky (1849 – 1921), who was known for his ability to overcome descriptiveness and academicism in his paintings, and Ladislav Mednyanszky (1902 – 1919), who was able to develop his artistic ideas into an individual style, while maintaining a distinctively expressive and decorative character.
Besides the Museum of Art, another great place to visit in Zilina is Marianske Square, which has become the unofficial symbol of the city. Featured on almost every postcard, the square is home to the Church of Holy Trinity and features Renaissance and Gothic architecture. The church’s bell tower, which is called Burian’s Tower, offers a breathtaking view of the town centre.
The town centre is also home to a number of other historic buildings, including the Old Town Hall and the St. Vitus Cathedral, which has a golden roof and an unusually tall tower. The Old Town Hall, which dates back to the 14th century, is now a popular venue for concerts and other cultural events.
