Very well put together museum on 3 floors with lots to see for adults and kids, from cave exploration to cultures and wildlife and more, in an interesting converted building. Nice also to walk round the old town centre.

The geographic museum is housed in the Neo-Gothic Mansion in Galanta. The manor house served as the Esterhazy family mansion. The museum specializes in documenting the history of the mills in the Little Danube basin and the Vah downstream.
4. Open-Air Mining Museum (SMM)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 129 reviews
The Mining Open – Air Museum with 40 000 visitors a year is one of the most popular sites in the region. On the ground the exposition shows old mining buildings, equipment, machines and geological history. Millions years ago here was the biggest volcano in Middle Europe. The most interesting part is the mine. Equipped with helmet, mining coat and lamp, you will go 60 meters deep and during a 1,5 km walk learn about the hard work of miners from Middle Age until the end of the 20th century.

This is outside the town but is on a bus route. There are plenty of displays of mining history and equipment on the surface and the museum is well laid out for families. The real highlight is the tour underground through the tunnels with miners lamps for illumination. There is a long climb down to the entrance then its fairly flat inside, but the tunnel floors are uneven so its not suitable for people with limited mobility or small children. Some places are unlit with very narrow tunnels and low roofs. There are lit displays and equipment but it feels very much as if the miners have left things as they were when the mine was operational.

I visited the natural history exhibits and was very impressed. This is an old-fashioned museum that lets you see a lot of actual STUFF (including old specimen jars). The interpretation is concerned with information rather than preaching. The arrangement is mainly taxonomic (for instance a model coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae, is exhibited alongside bottled specimens of lungfish species from Australia and Africa), or geographical (including some beautifully painted and atmospheric dioramas with local species), but there are also some thematic displays (evolution, ecology, etc.) that pack a lot in. I was struck by the variety of styles of presentation - it felt like the street of an old town that had accrued through the contributions of many hands, each respecting what had gone before. The museum has some rarities, which are easily missed as not all of the detailed labelling is in English as well as Slovak. There is a taxidermied specimen of the extinct passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) in the same case as the endangered kakapo. There is a fossil cast in Travertine limestone of a Neanderthal brain. The bones of a mammoth found locally (largely complete but lacking the skull) are displayed. The wonderful life-size mammoth model is free-standing, so you can take selfies with it!

The West Slovak Museum is a regional museum that provides comprehensive museum documentation in the Trnava region and, within the framework of its specialization, it fulfills the role of a supraregional character. The museum has permanent exhibitions focused on the history of brickwork, paleontology and historical personality of the region - Anton Bernolak.
