Výskumné a prezentačné aktivity SNM v Martine v 50. rokoch 20. storočia
Research and exhibition activities of Slovak National Museum in 50's of 20th century

Summary/Abstract: For every museum, an indicator of its orientation is the character of its collection, research and exhibition activity. Collection activity in the 1950s was to a great extent limited by the quantity of financial means, and hence it does not provide a complete picture of the museum‘s orientation. In this regard more can be learned from the museum‘s research and exhibition activity during the given period. The author deals in his paper with the changes which took place in the Slovak National Museum in Martin from its nationalisation in 1948 to its merger with the Slovak Museum in Bratislava in 1961. Research shows that the Museum responded to changed political circumstances in its plans. These were influenced both by an organ of state – the Commissariat for Education and Culture – and by a professional organisation – the Union of Slovak Museums, which recommended dealing with the issue of new installation in Slovak museums according to the ideological guidelines on the development of society ... not systematic presentation, but showing the life of the exploiting class and the exploited classes.
