About this audio guide
This guide to the Natural History Museum of the Slovak National Museum in Bratislava leaves the dinosaurs and minerals upstairs and follows the people who kept the building running through the Second World War. You'll meet a curator, two animal preparators, a janitor and the museum's oldest employee as call-up papers arrive, and a director who commuted in from the countryside. Best heard on the embankment, facing the columned front and its bronze doors.
