Summary/Abstract: The Museum of Folk Art Production in Stupava was founded in 2008 as an organizational unit and a dedicated worksite of the Center of Folk Art Production (ÚĽUV). In 2014 - in accordance with its mission statement to explore, document, preserve and make available to the public all artifacts related to Slovak art - the Museum focused its activities on blue print items from its own collections. This collection continues and builds on the work begun by the Center of Folk Art Production in 1948 with the establishment of the Kroj cooperative which aimed to study and concentrate blue print item production in Slovakia.
