Slovak National Museum

The Slovak National Museum is a national museum in Bratislava that operates a network of eighteen specialized branches throughout Slovakia. Its collections range from archaeological finds and historical documents to photographs and objects spanning different periods.

The museum was established in 1961 through the merger of the Slovak Museum and the Slovak National Museum in Martin. This consolidation brought together cultural preservation efforts under one national institution.

The museum displays permanent exhibitions that reflect how different groups have lived together in Slovak society. Visitors can explore the variety of local traditions and ways of life across these galleries.

The main building is located on Vajanské nábrežie street in Bratislava's Old Town and is easy to reach. The museum offers guided tours, educational programs, and interactive exhibits designed for all age groups.

The Natural Science Museum branch features an exhibition called 'The Miracle of Nature' showcasing Slovakia's rock formations and biological specimens. This collection helps visitors understand the country's natural diversity more fully.
