Museum of Croatian Culture in Slovakia
A museum in Devínska Nová Ves on the Croats who settled here in the 16th century, with their costumes, crafts, faith and traditions.
Why visit
Croats settled in villages around Bratislava in the 16th century, and Devínska Nová Ves is still a centre of the community. This branch of the Slovak National Museum documents their history and culture.
It occupies a purpose-built house on Istrijská Street and supports local events such as the annual Festival of Croatian Culture.
What to see
- History and Culture of Croats in Slovakia: the permanent exhibition on settlement, community life, language and customs.
- Folk culture: traditional costumes, crafts and religious objects that are still part of local identity.
- Archive material: photographs and documents, plus pointers to historic Croatian monuments that still stand in the region.
Plan your visit
Paid admission. Allow about an hour.
Combine the visit with a walk on Devínska Kobyla hill or to the Sandberg fossil site, both in Devínska Nová Ves.
