The Museum of Carpathian German Culture was formed, similarly as with all minority museums, in the womb of the Historical Museum of the SNM. In 1997 it became independent and has operated as a specialized museums with nationwide scope. It is a documentary, scientific-research and methodological museum workplace focused on the history and culture of Carpathian Germans from their arrival to Slovakia up to the present. The museum collects, protects, professionally processes and presents material documents related to its profile. The collections cover all fields of life of Carpathian Germans – clothing, textiles, domestic and craft production, industrial products, works of art, sacral objects, etc. The museum is situated in the reconstructed building at Žižkova street no. 14, where, besides offices and collection storage rooms, an exhibition documenting the almost 900-year long history and culture of Germans in Slovakia can be seen. Another exhibition in Nitrianske Pravno is oriented on the history and culture of Hauerland.

The castle crest above the Danube has been settled since eneolite times. Rich discoveries from the Hallstatt and Laten periods have been found here. At the time of the Great Moravian Empire (9th century) a hill-fort stood here fortified by wood and earth embankments. The first written record on the castle dates from the year 907. From the 11th century it was the Royal Castle, the seat of the priory and province. The oldest parts of the castle – the foundations of the south-western tower (the Crown Tower) – date from the mid - 13th century. The Castle’s architecture was significantly affected by reconstructions in the Gothic period. In the first half of the 15th century King Sigismund of Luxemburg had walled fortifications built and a royal castle palace, which was rebuilt in Renaissance style in the mid-16th century. Following a reconstruction in the years 1635 – 1649 the castle palace gained its characteristic form with four corner bastion towers. Extensive amendments to the palace and castle estate were made under the reign of Maria Theresa (1740 – 1780). From the mid-16th century, when Bratislava became the capital city and royal town of Old Hungary for 200 years, the castle was the seat of the sovereign, sittings of the Old Hungarian diet were held here and the crown jewels of Old Hungarian kings were kept in the Crown Tower in the 16th – 18th centuries. Over the years 1783 – 1790 a General Seminar for the Preparation of Catholic Priests was held at the castle, in which also Anton Bernolák studied. At the start of the 19th century the castle was requisitioned by the military. In 1811 the castle palace was burnt down, being restored only in 1953 – 1968. The restoration of the castle estate continues to today. The castle palace contains the reception premises of the National Council of the SR, exhibitions and workplaces of the Slovak National Museum. Hidden remains of a basilica from the Great Moravian period have been found in the castle courtyard. The castle and its estate was declared a National Cultual Monument in 1961.

The beginnings of the Slovak National Museum (SNM) are connected with the endeavour of the Slovak nation for national emancipation and self-determination. The SNM is connected to the tradition of the Matica Slovenská Museum and the Museum of the National House in Martin, which developed the Slovak Museology Society. These endeavours reached a peak in 1908 with the opening of the first permanent exhibition in Martin in a building built from a national collection. From the beginning the museum built up archaeological, ethnographic, historical, numismatic, art-historical, creative art and natural-science collections. In 1924 the Society of the Slovak National Geographic and History Museum founded the Slovak National Geographic and History Museum, to which in the same year was added the Agricultural Museum as a branch of the Czechoslovak Agricultural Museum in Prague. In 1940 these two museums were merged into the Slovak Museum seated in Bratislava. In 1961 the Slovak National Museum in Martin was joined with the Slovak Museum in Bratislava under the joint title of the Slovak National Museum Seated in Bratislava. Today the Slovak National Museum is the top state collection, scientific-research and cultural-education establishment in the field of museological activity in the Slovak Republic. Its mission is to, on the basis of research and scientific analysis, gather, preserve, scientifically evaluate, professionally process, make available and in the public interest to use collection objects as evidence of the development of the natural environment and society in Slovakia, the Slovak nation and ethnic societies. In the framework of its mission it fulfils tasks related to the creation of collections as a part of national cultural heritage, their recording and protection. In the field of its cultural-education function it presents the collections by means of permanent exhibitions at home and abroad and also realises other forms of museological communication. It resolves scientific-research tasks and makes available the results of this work by means of publishing activities. The SNM is at the same time a coordination, methodological, professional advisory, statistical, educational and information centre for the whole field of museology in the Slovak Republic. The SNM carries out all these and other tasks by means of its directorate and 16 specialised museums, which are documentary, scientific-research and methodological workplaces for the field of museological documentation in the framework of their specialisation.
