In 1860s, the Slovak revivalists began to focus their collection activities on the ethnographic material and material culture objects. They envisioned Matica Slovenská as the major institution dedicated to the safeguarding and preservation of these objects with volunteers as custodians. After the authorities dissolved Matica, the idea of a national museum was connected with the National House in Martin. This, however, proved to be impractical due to the design of the building. In the end, it was the concept of the universal museum supported by a country-wide benevolent society (The Slovak Museum Society) as advocated by Andrej Kmeť that prevailed. This project, ultimately implemented by the Society, became the first museum of a modern type in Slovakia built and run by trained and professional custodians and serving the wider community of scholars.
