Description
SLOVAK NATIONAL MUSEUM
The Slovak National Museum (SNM) is the largest museum institution, and concerning the extent of administered property, it is also the largest cultural institution in the Slovak Republic. Its history began more than 110 years ago.
At present, it preserves more than 3.5 million articles from all fields of science, and cares for a number of objects, the majority of which are recorded in the Register of Cultural Monuments of Slovak Republic. They include two outdoor museums of folk architecture, five castles and several manor houses and mansions, many of which are among the most visited cultural monuments in Slovakia.
The mission of the Slovak National Museum is to gather, preserve, scientifically evaluate, and professionally process the collection objects and funds, based on research and scientific analysis, and make them available as evidence of the natural wealth, history and evolution of material and spiritual culture in Slovakia.
Although its seat is in Bratislava, seventeen specialized museums with countrywide competence are situated in all regions of the Slovak Republic.
