SNM - Etnografický ústav, National ethnographic museum in Martin, Slovakia.
The SNM Ethnographic Institute is a museum in Martin that houses over 150,000 objects from Slovak heritage. These items include textiles, tools, and everyday objects that people used throughout the countryside, spanning different periods of Slovak history.
The institute was founded in 1908 but built on earlier collections that began between 1870 and 1896. These prior gathering efforts laid the foundation for the large collection that exists today and grew steadily over time.
The place displays craftsmanship and clothing styles that shaped different Slovak regions. Visitors see how people expressed their identity through local customs, and this continues to be visible in the displays today.
The museum is open on different days throughout the week, with extended hours on weekends. Visitors should check ahead to confirm which weekdays suit their schedule before planning a visit.
The museum holds a dedicated collection on Roma culture in Slovakia with documented traditions and research materials. This focus highlights an important part of Slovak society that is often overlooked elsewhere.
