Kežmarok Museum

Kežmarok Museum was founded in 1926 and opened its first exhibition in the entrance tower of Kežmarok Castle in 1931. In 1935 the museum was extended into the Castle's oblong tower. During World War II some items of the museum collections were stolen, but the museum was reopened in 1947.

Initially a regional museum focusing on Kežmarok and its surrounding area, it has since developed a more sociological orientation.

There are also exhibitions on Weapons; Kežmarok and the High Tatras; and the History of Kežmarok Fire Brigade.
