When visiting the Hornonitrian region, visit the museum in Prievidza. As a result of the hard work of local museum workers, there is not only a rich collection fund that now contains more than a quarter of a million items, but also dozens of events, exhibitions, presentations, seminars and lectures. They also won the prestigious "Acquisition of the Year" award, and so the museum's visit is definitely worth it.

The collection fund consists of archaeological, ethnological, historical, botanical, numismatic, zoological and geological collections. Among the most valuable are the archaeological finds of the middle-Paleolithic cultures in the form of a split industry, a rich inventory of Lusatian burials, a silver treasure from a Roman grave, a Roman sword from the 11th century, documents of traditional clothing in the form of ancient folk clothing from Valaska Belej, Nitrianskeho Pravna, a collection of glass paintings, monuments from the Turkish War period, silver jewelery, guild monuments and golden ducats from the 14th - 20th centuries.

In the footsteps of nature

From the field of natural sciences, interesting documents of third-order (miocene) flora are interesting, allowing a perfect reconstruction of the development of the local nature in third trips. Rare is the type of invertebrate material that forms part of the zoological collections.

Double joy

You can enjoy history at two addresses. In the building on Košovská cesta you will find the exhibition, exhibition, administrative and working areas of most departments. When you go to V. Clementis Street, you will find warehouses and conservatories. The effort of the museums is aimed at the full fulfillment of its mission and participation in the creation of cultural and social events in the Upper Nitra region.
