Museum of History, National history museum in Old Town, Slovakia
The Slovak National Museum building stands along the Danube River with a Neo-Renaissance facade and four floors of exhibition spaces.
The museum originated in 1924 as the Slovak Museum of Natural History before merging with the Agricultural Museum in 1940 to form the present institution.
The museum collection includes 250,000 artifacts ranging from medieval textiles to military equipment, glass, ceramics, and religious art from across Slovakia.
The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Monday between 10:00 and 18:00, with free admission during the first Sunday of each month.
The museum maintains a Documentation Center focused on Slovak emigration, representing the cultural heritage of Slovaks who settled abroad over 150 years.
