Museum of the Slovak Village

[1] The first idea of the open-air museum was put forward by Ján Geryk, the SNM secretary, on 16 April 1931 and it was thought to be built in Opleta.

In an area of 15,5 hectares there are 129 dwelling, farm, technical, social, and religious buildings.

Besides many domestic buildings, there are for example croftlofts, a pub, a village store, a garden house, a firehouse, a wooden Renaissance bellhouse, an elementary school, and an exhibition on Romano Drom (Journey of Gypsies).

Agricultural exhibitions show the cultivation of traditional plants, trees, spices, medicinal and magic herbs.

One of the most interesting objects is Catholic church from Rudno (1792) with its decorative paintings and Baroque altar with statutes of St. Stephen, St. Nicolas and Virgin Mary inside.
