The museum in Hanušovce nad Topľou is original and unique and at the same time the only one in Slovakia that combines a living archaeopark and a traditional stone museum.
Archaeopark Living archaeology in the grounds of the manor house provides unique knowledge of ancient history - in an original form of your own experience. Seven dwellings represents five periods from prehistoric times to the early Middle Ages (Paleolithic, Neolithic, Early Iron Age, Early Bronze Age and Early Medieval), so a tour of the archaeopark you go about 30,000 years in time.
The Paleolithic building is a replica of a find from Tibava, the hut from the Younger Stone Age is a replica of a find from Košice, the dwellings from the Younger Bronze Age - one from Sedlísk-Podčičva and the other, which copies the floor plan of the house from Nižný Hrušov. The Celtic building has a model on the Zemplín site from the Younger Iron Age, and the Slavic log house is built according to a partially preserved floor plan of a building from Skrabský. A residential log building with a shingle roof from the early Middle Ages is in turn built according to the find from Vlač.
In the area you will also find production shelters, a metalworking one from the Bronze Age, a pottery one from the Latin Age and a kitchen one from the early Middle Ages.
Any idea how a Paleolithic knife cuts? Do you know how heavy a Neolithic axe is? Do you think you can hold a Bronze Age shield? Can you grind flour on a Celtic mill? Do you make notes on musical instruments?
In the Archaeopark, the forbidden expression is: don't touch! On the contrary, it is an interactive space for the visitor's creativity - so that they can take away the experience of touching the past.
The Archaeopark, especially during the summer holidays, offers many events for the public, during which visitors can try various crafts and tastes of times long gone by.
