A new book about the most beautiful wedding halls in Slovakia. They are like time capsules—just open them, and you’ll find art and design from 50 years ago. They might have gone unnoticed if not for the research of Sabina Jankovičová. Photographer Matej Hakár visited and documented them—from Bratislava to Sabinov, from Pernek to Čabraďský Vrbovok, from Strečno to Lazy pod Makytou. In the book, you can also read about the significance of ceremonies for society in a text by ethnologist Zuzana Beňušková, as well as the history of wedding fashion in an overview by curator Zuzana Dedík Šidlíková.
