Enigma: Secret World of Codes
Slovakia’s only surviving Enigma M3 cipher machine is the centrepiece of an exhibition on codes and secret messages at the Transport Museum.
About the event
The Slovak Technical Museum’s Transport Museum in Bratislava presents an exhibition on cryptology, encryption and secret communication.
At its heart stands a German Enigma M3 cipher machine, the only known surviving example in Slovakia. Its story is part of the show: preserved by chance, hidden after the war and found again in a private collection before the museum acquired it.
