History
The Slovak National Museum in Martin is the oldest and the largest workplace in the Slovak National Museum. It dates backs to the end of the 19th century, and it is connected with the establishment of the Slovak Museology Society in (1893). The foundation, development, activity and accumulation of the SNM-MT collections in Martin are connected with the work of its founding father, Andrej Kmeť, and other important personalities from the Slovak history.

In 1961 it was merged with the Slovak Museum in Bratislava.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The history of this country was made largely by people who wanted to be left alone. Those who could not thrive when left to themselves never felt at ease in America.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
