Abstract
After the emergence of Czechoslovak Republic, Slovakia mainly had associational museums which were operated on a voluntary basis. Many of them encountered existential problems, having no financial means, suitable premises and appropriate methodical guidelines, which was often reflected in their basic museum activities. The paper provides an overview of museum life in Slovakia during the interwar period. It follows up the development of museums founded before 1918, establishment of new specialised museums (Agricultural Museum in Bratislava, Mining Museum of Dionýz Stur in Banska Stiavnica, Jewish Museum in Presov), formation of a nationwide museum of Slovak national history (Slovak National Museum in Turciansky Svatý Martin vs. Slovak Museum of National History in Bratislava) and their relationship to the Union of Czechoslovak Museums in the context of development of a unified museum network in the Czechoslovak Republic, professionalisation of museum workers and protection of museum collections.
