Slovak National Museum – Museum of Hungarian Culture in Slovakia

Why visit

This is the only museum devoted to the history and culture of the Hungarian community in Slovakia, and part of the Slovak National Museum.

It occupies the Brämer Mansion, older Gothic houses rebuilt at the turn of the 17th century into a two-storey Renaissance house. The mansion stands in Podhradie, one of the oldest parts of the city, at the foot of the castle hill.

What to see

• Hungarians in Slovakia – Traditions and Values: the main permanent exhibition on the folk culture, crafts, literature and art of the community.
• Smaller displays: including Food, Drinks, Dreams…, Change of Homes and the reading room of writer Lajos Grendel.
• Temporary exhibitions: changing shows on Hungarian culture and literature in Slovakia.

Plan your visit

One ticket covers all Slovak National Museum venues on the street, including the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Carpathian German Culture, so all three fit into one morning. Bratislava Card holders enter free.

Allow about an hour here. The Church of the Holy Trinity and the Danube embankment are a minute away, and the Old Town about 10 minutes on foot.
