10 Museums in Staré Mesto That You Shouldn't Miss
Stare Mesto, the Old Town of Slovakia's capital, whisks visitors back a few centuries as they wander cobblestone streets, admire the Baroque architecture, enjoy summer and Christmas concerts at Old Town Hall and while away time at cafes and restaurants. Venture beyond for more sites, including the 15th-century hrad (castle) with its treasury and history and music museums, the Slovak National Theater and the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Slovak National Gallery, housed in an 18th-century palace.

The building of the Nedbalka Gallery hides an impressive interior featuring an internal structure resembling the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Its four floors provide space for a permanent exhibition dedicated to the birth and development of modernism in Slovakia. The history of painting and sculpture in Slovakia in the 20th century is well documented by works by L. Mednyánszky, D. Skutezký, M. Galanda, M. Benka, M. Laluha and many others who fundamentally influenced the development of art in Slovakia. On the ground floor, the visitors will find the latest of the series of exhibitions primarily dedicated to works by Slovak artists.

If you want to know more about the Slovakian artists, you must visit. Small museum with a nice interior. You will get a tablet with the information about the paintings and painters and after the visit you will be treated with a cup of coffee at the museum cafe - it is included into the ticket price.

Although I have a couple of gripes, generally had a fantastic time here. The cars displayed are in perfect condition and really give you a full history of motoring in Slovakia. There are trains too - the full size ex-communist Russian variety and that was pretty cool. The museum is located at the end of a main train station so the old trains are still on their tracks. It's a huge area and there's two giant spaces A & B, so most people do A and think that's it because space B requires you to exit A altogether, walk down a little rubbishy looking path that seems like you aren't supposed to be there. Signposted ahead will be shed B. Apart from cars and trains, there's also old motorbikes including a 1923 Harley Davidson (see pics of all these) and a new chopper made by Orange County Choppers (they had a BIG show on TV for years). There's also old bicycles, a few horse drawn carriages and even a collection of antique baby carriages/prams/buggies - whatever you call them depending on which country you come from! There is a huge display of old railroad equipment from gauges and lights to a room full of electronics. Also an old telephone display, showing bakerlite phones and way back to the times when an operator would need to connect you via a switchboard. Strangely, there's even a display and video content on Slovakia's kyaking win at the Sydney Olympic Games in Australia!! The old lady at the ticket booth is far from friendly, her English is very limited but I speak a dialect of the local language and although she understood me, she was still frosty. Not really the type of person you want welcoming tourists. Might explain the very few visitors that seem to come. Entry price is ridiculously cheap at 4 Euros but they try to charge you 2 Euros extra if you want to take photos. What a load of crap - I'd rather them just raise the admission price to 6 Euros for everyone. I didn't pay the extra and although 1 or 2 staff turn up from time to time to check on people walking around, generally there's no staff there. All of the information presented either via video, audio or on information cards is in Slovakian only. A handful show English and German as well but really so very few.

Funny place to take pictures. Mirror illusions are exciting. Takes about 20minutes to walk everything around. The girl that sold us tickets was super friendly and helpful. Worth the price (5 euros)
