Vihorlatské múzeum v Humennom

The beginnings of the Vihorlatsky Museum's history date back to 1960 and are linked to the decision of the Council of the National National Committee that the renovated manor in Humenne will serve also for museum purposes. We obtained the Statute of the Regional Museum of History in 1964. The collection area defined the borders of the districts of Humenné, Snina and Medzilaborce.   The museum's collections are significantly expanded in the second half of the 1970s and early 1980s in the 20th century. which also results in personnel empowerment by professional staff. At present, more than hundreds of pieces of collection are concentrated in the collection collections of the museum. In spite of the authenticity of each of them, the most valuable are the Celtic coins (Ptičie), the 17th Century coinage (Topoľa), unique antique weapons and armor, baroque icons, valuable paintings, original furniture and many other rare collections. With the increasing number of collections and the development of research activities, the museum creates favorable conditions for exhibitions and exhibitions.   The first was the exhibition "The Feudal Housing Culture", which was made available to the public in 1971 and gradually expanded and reinstalled (1982, 1987, 1991) forms the basis for the presentation of the museum. In 1973 an exhibition of newer history was made available. In August 1984, an exhibition of folk architecture and housing was open to the public. Since 1989, the Galeriya Hall of Oresta Dubaya has been part of the museum, and the natural history exhibition has been added in 1990. In 1996-2008, the life and history of the Roma ethnic group in Eastern Slovakia was accompanied by an exhibition of the History of the Roma in Slovakia.   The last open permanent exhibition, which has been shown since 2009 by the public museum, is the Sacred Exposition with the Chapel of Our Lady in the original premises of the manor house in Humenné.   In addition to constant exhibitions, the Museum prepares a wide variety of exhibitions and events for its visitors every year.
