Rožňava

More information about "Mining Museum (BANM) Roznava" on Muzeum.sk

The specialized mining and metallurgical museum of Gemer was set up in 1902 on the initiative of the Borsod-Gemer department of the provincial Hungarian mining and metallurgical society. In 1905 the museum building was completed and in 1912 the first exhibition of mining, metallurgy and mineralogy was open in it. That same year the Rožňava Museum was also founded – the two fused in 1943. Postwar activity was resumed in 1956 only by the opening of a mining-metallurgical exhibition. Museum has its headquarters in a building which is a striking monument to the manufacturing period at Rožňava. It dates from 1782 – it originated from the reconstruction of two one-storey tanner\‚s houses and served as the operational part of Mark\‘s manufacture (until 1925). It was reconstructed and adapted for the needs of the museum in 1973–1977. The Mining Museum owns abundant collections from archaeology, history, art history, history of technology, particularly mining and metallurgy, natural history – geology and mineralogy.
