The Slovak National Museum in Martin
- The Slovak National Museum in Martin
The Slovak National Museum in Martin is an ethnographically oriented branch of the Slovak National Museum, located in Martin, Slovakia.
History
The Slovak National Museum in Martin is the oldest and the largest workplace in the Slovak National Museum. It dates backs to the end to the 19th century and is connected with the establishment of the Slovak Museology Society (1893). The foundation, development, activity and accumulation of the SNM-MT collection in Martin are connected with the work of its founding father, Andrej Kmeť, and other important personalities from our national history. Since its establishment the museum has acquired collections of a national geographic and historical nature (ethnography, archaeology, history, numismatics, art-history, art and sculpture, archiving and library) from the whole territory of Slovakia and from abroad. By 1948 it was a museum of societies, and in 1961 it was merged with the Slovak Museum in Bratislava, with a specialisation in ethnography.
Current status
It currently operates as a nationwide specialised museum oriented on the documentation of the development of folklore culture in Slovakia, including ethnic groups, Slovaks living abroad, as well as ethno-museology from the oldest times to the present. It also creates the bases for a wide professional use and accumulation of the stores of the Martin Benka Museum, Karol Plicka Museum, the Slovak Village Museum, Professional Library and the Special Designation Archive, the Store of Archaeology and Cultural History.
