Museum at Slavín within one year

The project of a museum to be built under the Slavín Memorial has begun to take shape. SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč met with the Mayor of Bratislava Ivo Nesrovnal to inform him of the next steps to take.

We have the Prime Minister’s support. He declared that he would allocate finances from the reserve funds of the Prime Minister, which will be used to have the project documentation and static expert opinions developed,” said Head of the Defence Department. However, we will need to obtain finances also from the other sources. „Our ambition is to come up with something new at Slavín in the upcoming year,” stressed out the Minister.

The permanent exhibition dedicated to the liberation of Slovakia in 1944 – 1945 is supposed to be established under the Slavín Memorial. The preliminary scheme allows for the auditorium in the centre of the premises and exhibits to be aligned along a perimeter, partially to be provided by the Military History Institute. In the auditorium, the lectures should be held, to include slide lectures and documentaries.

It was SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč who came up with the incentive to establish a permanent exhibition under the Slavín Memorial, and who, in concert with the Mayor of Bratislava, created a working group charged with implementation of the project.
