This tour is built around a single, extraordinary story of Ľudovít Feld, a Košice-born artist who survived Auschwitz by working as Josef Mengele’s personal painter. Our journey begins at the cultural center dedicated to Feld, where his art and life provide an immediate, deeply personal, and profoundly unique connection to the Holocaust. From this powerful and singular starting point, the tour expands, but its thematic core of art and memory remains. We visit Bardejov, where the UNESCO-listed Jewish Suburbia serves as a testament to a community's history, and Prešov, with its celebrated Judaica collection. Finally, the cinematic connection in Sabinov—the setting for the Oscar-winning film The Shop on Main Street—provides a modern artistic lens through which to view historical events. This fusion of a single artist’s struggle with broader historical and cultural landmarks makes for a truly unparalleled experience.

Our tour unique is deep dive into the "somewhere" that created a man who claimed to be "from nowhere." Andy Warhol's parents were Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants from what is now eastern Slovakia, and our tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to trace their incredible journey. We start in Miková, his parents' birthplace, where you'll feel the weight of history and stand on the very spot where his mother’s house once stood. This is more than a historical site; it’s a tangible link to the humble beginnings that fueled a global icon. Our tour also looks to the future of art in Medzilaborce, home to the Andy Warhol Museum. While currently under reconstruction, we'll see the promise of its grand reopening in spring 2026. Beyond Warhol, we explore the region's culture, hiking to the majestic statue of Count Laborec and visiting the solemn ruins of the Krasny Brod monastery, a powerful memorial to World War I. This tour lets you see beyond the art and into the soul of the artist.
