History

The museum was established by the Hungarian Carpathian Association. The association was established in Ótátrafüred in 1873. The building of the Carpathian Museum was built between 1885 and 1886. The land was donated by the great supporter of the museum, Husz Dávid (he has a plaque in the Lutheran church in only Slovak language). The first exhibition opened on August 6, 1887. Two side wings were built in 1907. The museum was renamed in 1945 to Tatra Museum and was united with the Tátra Museum established in 1882 in the village of Felka (that is now part of Poprád).
