Summary/Abstract: This paper maps artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in Slovak cultural institutions andexplores its perceived relevance for marketing communication, visitor experience, and engaging young audiences (8–25). It draws on an exploratory online survey (closed/open questions) complemented by follow-up email communication. Responses came from 10 Slovak institutions and one foreign gallery; thus, results are indicative, not statistically representative. AI use appears limited and focused on accessible applications (AI-supported advertising, content generation, chatbots, basic analytics). Reported barriers include limited funding, insufficient technical capacity/skills, and ethical or legal concerns, while perceived benefits include better targeting, higher engagement, and improved insight into visitor preferences. Overall, AI may help modernise cultural marketing if implemented responsibly and as a complement to human creativity.
