District of Medzilaborce

The District of Medzilaborce is best known in Slovakia for the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art in its district town, Medzilaborce. In the far northeast of the country, it follows the upper Laborec River through the wooded ridges of the Laborec Highlands, close to Poland. This borderland is part of the traditional Rusyn homeland, a heritage reflected in local speech, religious life and folk customs. The museum recalls Warhol’s family connection to the area: his parents came from the nearby village of Miková before emigrating to the United States. Roads here link small settlements, forests and low Carpathian hills rather than large urban centres.
