The Museum of Fellow Countrymen forms part of Matica slovenská and is located at Matica slovenská’s Bratislava office, a two-storey Neo Rococo palace built in 1889 by Bratislava architect J Hubert for pharmacist F Pistori. The building is a National Cultural Monument.
The museum focuses on the problems of Slovak emigration and the life of Slovaks in the world. The exhibition ‘The Slovaks in Hungary’ was open in 1992 and gives a view of the history and lifestyle of the Slovak national minority living in Hungary.
