Museum of the Slovak National Uprising — Attraction in Banská Bystrica

Lost opportunity. I write this with 3 foreigners and one slovak. We were proud to go and trusted the reviews, but they are wrong. The layout (display to writing ratio) didn’t make much sense. The biggest issue though was the English translation. It was horrible. We spent the entire time trying to reconstruct sentence structure in hopes to understand what was being said.

It has a two room exhibition on the bottom floor of the smaller half, I didn't even spend 5 minutes and asked that my ticket be given to someone else if possible as I'd already paid. Lady on front desk was very nice, but would have been nice to know before paying there's no ability to see the building, not even see the second floor or the other half of the building accessable. Really...
