Museum below the Tatras
About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of Poprad, with the stunning High Tatras as a permanent backdrop, this museum is a genuine treasure. I was immediately struck by how it weaves the entire story of this region together, from ancient geology to vibrant folk traditions. You'll find everything from prehistoric mammoth bones to beautifully preserved historical interiors that feel frozen in time. It’s the perfect cultural deep-dive before or after a day in the mountains.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the massive mammoth skeleton, a collection of traditional Spiš folk costumes bursting with color, and a full-scale replica of a historic burgher's room that transports you back centuries.
Visitor Information
It's super easy to find right on Vajanského street in Poprad. The entry fee is very reasonable, and it's a brilliant rainy-day alternative when the mountain trails are too wet.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a handsome, stately building that feels both grand and welcoming, its classic design fits perfectly with the city's historic center.
