The Slovak Enterprise Railway Museum (Railway Museum of the Slovak Republic - ŽMSR) was established in 1983 as an organizational component of the former ČSD Eastern Railway Administration in Bratislava (department of the then Center for Technical Development). Near many railway exhibits and railway props you will also find few cars that were used.

The Slovak Technical Museum resides in Kosice. A new subsidiary was set up in 1999 at an old steam-railway station in Bratislava which caters for road transport. The permanent exhibition of road transport features a collection of vehicles ranging from the very first means of transport with and without engines, through bicycles, personal vehicles and lorries of the period between the two world wars, up to the vehicles from the 1960s and 1970s.

The youngest exposition of the Považský Museum in Žilina is a joint work of the Považský Museum in Žilina and the member of the Slovak Ariel Club. It is located in the building of the Rajecké Teplice railway station.
You can take a walk through the development of transportation from the earliest times to the present day after ringing the bell on the door of the building from the platform. The exhibition, titled From the History of Transport in Slovakia, consists of three parts.
