O
Rýchle fakty: More than 200,000 preserved artifacts span everything from Gothic religious art to a 19th-century pharmacy with original ceramic jars. The museum also houses the largest collection of historical photographs and postcards in the entire Spiš region.
Zaujímavosti: One room re-creates a 1920s photographer's studio complete with glass plate negatives and a massive wooden bellows camera that visitors can peek inside. Another space holds a perfectly preserved Tatra shepherd's cottage interior, where the smoky peat smell from the open hearth still seems to linger in the woolen textiles.
Insiderské tipy
- Head to the top floor first for the photography collection before crowds gather in the narrow corridors.
- The natural history section with regional bird specimens is often overlooked but features species you can spot on Tatra trails.
- Bring a small notebook for the pharmacy room, the Latin labels on the 19th-century ceramic jars make a fun puzzle to decipher.
- Plan around lunch so you can finish in the museum cafe which serves local sheep cheese pastries.
