Museum of the Slovak National Uprising

Museum of the Slovak National Uprising (Slovak: Múzeum Slovenského národného povstania) is a museum in Banská Bystrica that commemorates the Slovak National Uprising, an antifascist revolt during World War II.

The Slovak National Uprising was not an insurgency but an organized military effort by the Allied recognised resistance army - The 1st Czechoslovak army in Slovakia.

The Slovak National Uprising (Slovak: Slovenské národné povstanie, abbreviated SNP) was a military uprising organized by the Slovak resistance movement during World War II.

This resistance movement was represented mainly by the members of the Democratic Party, but also by social democrats and Communists, albeit on a smaller scale.

It was launched on 29 August 1944 from Banská Bystrica in an attempt to resist German troops that had occupied Slovak territory and to overthrow the collaborationist government of Jozef Tiso.
