Summary/Abstract: This paper surveys the most prominent examples of short-term exhibitions in Slovak museums and galleries in the years 2014 and 2015, highlighting current trends in exhibition design. Despite the great number of such exhibitions which take place every year in Slovakia, their logistical aspects often leave a lot to be desired (for example, hard copy catalogues with full lists of exhibited objects, when printed at all, are usually lacking) and only small fraction is reprised. The public‘s engagement with such exhibitions in form of professional reviews as well as their social and economic effectiveness are virtually non-existent and thus a great desideratum.
