Permanent exposition of the railway town of Vrútky

Permanent exposition of the railway town Vrútky - Journey through the history of railways

In the heart of the railway town of Vrútky there is a permanent exhibition that offers visitors a unique view of the rich history of the town. The exposition maps the development of the town in different epochs, from prehistoric times to the 20th century.

The exposition is situated on the first floor of the municipal building, where the Hana Zelinova Municipal Library used to be located. The tour includes four rooms, one of which is exclusively dedicated to the railway history of Vrútok, which is a key part of the town's identity.

In addition to the traditional exhibits, visitors can also see video documentaries that bring closer the historical milestones of the railway and important personalities who contributed to the development of Vrútok and its railway junction. The exhibits and multimedia elements together create an interactive and educational experience for all visitors.

Historical background and installation of the exhibition

The installation of the exhibition took place after a comprehensive renovation of the rooms, including the replacement of wiring, lighting, ceilings and floors. The whole project was implemented with the financial support of the European Regional Development Fund within the project "The Košice-Bohumín Railway Connected Us". The opening of the exhibition took place in 2021, when Vrútky commemorated the 150th anniversary of the construction of this important railway line, which connected the regions of Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
