It is one of the most important centers of Hungarian culture in Slovakia and also boasts the richest Roman collection, collection of folk costumes, textiles and ceramics. The collection contains characteristic elements of folk costumes, primarily of Hungarian ethnicity. Also worth mentioning are the objects documenting Danube fishing, gold panning, as well as the life and work of Kom\u00e1rno cart-drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the front walls of the museum&#8217;s ceremonial hall is decorated with a large oil painting by Hungarian realist painter \u00c1rp\u00e1d Feszty (1856-1914) Battle of B\u00e1nhida, painted in 1897-98. On the opposite front wall is an extremely valuable Baroque city painting veduta by Karl Friedl, depicting the great earthquake in Kom\u00e1rno in 1763. In addition to these two dominant paintings, the walls of the ceremonial hall are decorated with portraits of historical figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The museum&#8217;s permanent exhibitions include:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Historical development of Kom\u00e1rno and its region from prehistoric times until 1849, as well as ethnographic characteristics of the region &#8211; The exhibition is divided into three parts: archaeological, historical and ethnographic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exhibition of K\u00e1roly Harmos from Kom\u00e1rno &#8211; he worked as a painter, art teacher and organizer of cultural and artistic life in Kom\u00e1rno during the interwar period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, its fundamental mission is, based on investigation and scientific research, to purposefully collect, scientifically evaluate, professionally manage and protect, and use for scientific and cultural-educational purposes the material and non-material records and documents about the development and current state of society in the Kom\u00e1rno district, as well as about the development of nature in the southern part of the Danube Lowland in the Kom\u00e1rno and Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky districts. Within its narrower specialization, the museum focuses on the history, ethnography and cultural history of the Hungarian national minority, on research and documentation of interethnic relations in the Nitra Self-governing Region, as well as on research and documentation of Roman monuments in the Kom\u00e1rno district.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":362,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[83,98],"kategoria-programov":[108],"obec":[115],"class_list":["post-1516","zaujimavost","type-zaujimavost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-fealured","tag-museum","kategoria-programov-with-culture","obec-komarno"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zaujimavost\/1516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zaujimavost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/zaujimavost"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1516"},{"taxonomy":"kategoria-programov","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-programov?post=1516"},{"taxonomy":"obec","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obec?post=1516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
