Remarkable and colourful glass production from our territory is deposited also in collections of numerous Slovak museums. This is true also in the Slovak National Museum, where glass artefacts are deposited in ethnographic, culture-historical and archaeological departments. In our article we are dealing with the glass collection concentrated in the Ethnographic museum (including about 2000 glass artefacts). We are giving its brief development from the museum’s beginnings. The basis for our work has been written documents since 1890 up to now. Valuable information we have obtained from the Journal of Museum Slovak Society, documents in archives as well as those concerning artefacts themselves. These files helped us to follow the ways of establishing the collection, increasing the number of glass kinds and artefacts, widening its territorial representation, and knowing of donors, sellers and glass workshops. In spite of certain problems we partially succeeded in provenience identification of artefacts production. Based on these finds, we can state that we have glass collections from Uhrovec, Gápel glass works, Málinec, Katarínska Huta, Lednické Rovne, Utekáč, etc. The glass collection in the Slovak national museum in Martin is represented by these kinds of glass: packing glass, illumination glass, utility soda potash and lead glasses. Majority of the glass collection is made of artificial glass, which can be divided into three basic types: flat glass (sheet and window glass), hollow glass and pressed or cast (or made by another way) glass. In the collection utility glass is predominating, first of all beverages, table (service) and packing glass. Decorative glass is less numerous. Hand-blown glass includes mainly beverage glass (small cups), bowls, small bowls, vases, illumination glass, oil lamps, packing glass (bottles), etc. Utility pressed glass collection consists of cups of various kinds, plates, saltcellars, boxes, etc. In Slovak glass a great variety of kinds of utility glass had its place together with many technologies of cold or hot working, numerous shapes of artefacts for everyday use as well as exclusive ones with rich decorations. This all, documenting our history, is reflected also in the glass collection placed in the Slovak national museum in Martin that has been formed within a one hundred years.

For every museum, an indicator of its orientation is the character of its collection, research and exhibition activity. Collection activity was limited by the quantity of financial means in the 1950s and hence it does not provide a complete view of the museum's orientation. In this regard more can be learned from the museum's research and exhibition activity during the given period. The author deals in his paper with the changes which took place in the Slovak National Museum in Martin from its nationalisation in 1948 to its merger with the Slovak Museum in Bratislava in 1961. Research shows that the Museum responded to change political circumstances in its plans. These were influenced both by an organ of state - the Commissariat for Education and Culture - and by a professional organisation - the Union of Slovak Museums, which recommended dealing with the issue of new installation in Slovak museums.

Recognition of the heraldic decoration on the portrait of a hitherto unknown man wearing a cuirass clarifies the identification of the bearer of the coat of arms as well as the activities of his contemporaries—officers in the Imperial Army regiments in the early 18th century. In the portrait galleries of the Slovak museum collections there are two preserved images of men—officers of the Minckwitz family, in the Slovak National Museum in Martin and in the Museum in Svätý Anton. One of them fought in Field Marshal General Nicholas Pálfi’s Infantry Regiment, the other in Baron Seherr von Thoss’s Cuirassier Regiment. The Minckwitz family came from Saxony, but also settled in what is now the Czech Republic. They arrived in Slovakia thanks to marriages, and probably that is why the studied portraits of men in cuirasses have been preserved in the torso of the Révai family gallery.
