History

The teachers and students of the Piarist grammar school started to collect the materials for the museum in the middle of the 19th century. The Museum of Nyitra County was established in 1896. The museum was closed in 1951. It was reopened in 1962 in the building of the Great Seminary. Now it is situated in the building of the former town hall.

The construction of the town hall started in 1880 in neo-Renaissance style according to the plans of the architect Lyka János from Nyitra.
