Museums and galleries Zeleneč

You are surely among the fans of history as well. If so, go back in time with us and visit the Vlastivedné múzeum v Galante . Discover with us the history of the Galanta district, which lies in the middle of the Podunajská nížina. The museum is located in an ancient building right next to the Rímskokatolícky kostol and the parish office.

The Vlastivedné múzeum v Galante was established on April 1, 1969. The first impulse for its creation came from local teachers, who led a local history club at that time. From 1970 to 1986, the museum was housed in the Neogotický kaštieľ manor house. In 2014, it moved to new premises of a former bank in the town center. In the museum building, you can view 8 permanent exhibitions. The first exhibition is titled Mestská bytová kultúra and presents a collection of historical furniture from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The displayed pieces represent the living style of the so-called upper social class.

In the room Sakrálne pamiatky, items with religious themes that once formed part of church furnishings will catch your interest. The exhibition Tradičná ľudová kultúra galantského regiónu presents an ethnological collection of the way of life in the surrounding microregions: Šoporňa, Pata, Abrahám, Veľký Grob, and Slovenský Komlóš. The displayed objects originate from the fields of traditional folk clothing, folk crafts, and home production.

Perhaps the most interesting room is Lekáreň, whose furnishings come from a family pharmacy in Bratislava dating back to 1909. The exhibition consists of numerous small bottles and containers of various shapes and sizes that once served in the production of pharmaceuticals. Laboratory tools and pharmacy scales are also located here, and diplomas of local pharmacists and doctors hold an honorable place as well.

In the smallest section, Výtvarní umelci regiónu, you will find 11 paintings by the painter Anton Dubrovský, a native of Šoporňa. The historical exhibition Mlyny a mlynárske remeslo deals with the development of milling in the area of the Malý Dunaj river and the lower reach of the Váh river, from its beginnings up to the end of the 20th century.

Archeologická lokalita Gáň-Brakoň. That is the name of the exhibition in which you will see finds from the ancient settlement of this region. Vessels and fragments of various tools date from the Neolithic period and the Late Bronze Age. The last stop is the Numizmatická výstava exhibition, located in a former vault room. Here you can inspect coins from the reign of Franz Joseph I as well as coins originating from Šintavský hrad.

In addition to permanent exhibitions, the Vlastivedné múzeum manages 9 branch exhibitions: Dom ľudového bývania Matúškovo, Vodný kolový mlyn Jelka, Vodný kolový mlyn Tomášikovo, Renesančný kaštieľ Galanta, Dom ľudového bývania Veľké Úľany, Mestské múzeum v Seredi, Múzeum Veľká Mača, Expozícia v Dome ľudového bývania v Šali, and Expozícia v Dome ľudového bývania v Žihárci.

The historical exhibition lets you look not only into the history of the town of Senec, but also presents the historical development of society supported by archaeological finds from the territory of Senec. Among the exhibits you will find everyday items from individual periods, written records, and ecclesiastical and historical documents.

In addition to the mentioned exhibitions, the museum's activities include educational programs, lectures, and thematic exhibitions. Do not hesitate and do not miss the opportunity to learn something new. Thanks to the great location of the museum, you can combine your visit with a tour of the town. A bonus is the manor house itself, Turecký dom. The most valuable historical monument will charm you with its appearance and architecture. Its history dates back to the 16th century, when it served mainly for administrative purposes of the Bratislava county. It even remembers the attack of the Turks, which it successfully withstood.

Just a few steps further rises Morový stĺp, which was built as a token of gratitude and recalls the difficult times of the plague in the early 18th century. A symbol of ancient times and customs is Stĺp hanby, known as Pranier, standing next to the museum. Pranier served until the mid-19th century, when serfdom was abolished.
