Description
The “Open Depository” Project is unique in its idea, construction and technical realization. There are not many similar projects in Europe and certainly not in the Slovak Republic where museums would open their depositories to the wide public. Collections of the SNU Museum consist of 16,776 pieces of properly registered objects of significant value for the Slovak nation. They are expertly processed according to the cataloguing principles and stored within limited possibilities according to the structure of collections in several depositories. The storage facilities were built in several stages and consist mainly of office cabinets, storage racks and wooden rifle stands. Nowadays, the above-mentioned deposit no longer covers the actual needs of protection and care for the collections of unique value within the Act No. 206/2009 Coll. - on Museums and Galleries and Protection of Objects of Cultural Value, as amended. Their damage may lead to the termination of the informative value of the object.
