Museum of Roma Culture in Slovakia. So far, it has not been possible to determine exactly which population group the ancestors of the Roma belonged to, nor even the time and reasons for their departure from their homeland. The first written mention of the Roma in Slovakia dates back to 1322. The exhibition at the Museum of Roma Culture will tell you a lot about the origins and history of the Roma, from the departure of their ancestors from their Indian homeland to their arrival in Europe. The exhibition pays special attention to the presence of the Roma in Slovakia and maps the historical events that have had a decisive impact on their community. A substantial part of the exhibition is devoted to the traditional culture and way of life of the Roma.
