it so that it can best suit its purpose. It means not only to fix<br />

its state of disrepair, the leaks and similar deficiencies but also<br />

to make the bridging or the whole building operational. The<br />

details of how it could be done are still being discussed.” 42<br />

Štefan Holčík, the director of the Archaeological Museum<br />

of Slovak National Museum, supported the possibility<br />

of tearing down the bridging, while also accepting a rebuild:<br />

“... If I had the power, I would have the extension of the<br />

Slovak National Gallery, the so called ‘bridging’, demolished<br />

without further obstructions. But I understand the viewpoint of<br />

the SNG director who fears the gallery would lose the storage<br />

and exhibition spaces that it needs. However, the ‘modern’<br />

south wing, which is the sticking point, can be adjusted,<br />

rebuilt, humanized. We can find plenty of examples of this<br />

in Europe.” 43<br />

The demolition was consistently supported by Professor<br />

Štefan Šlachta, although in a much sharper way than in<br />
