East Slovak Museum
Find hidden treasure at the East Slovak Museum. Workers found the secret stash of 2920 gold coins, dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, while renovating a house on Hlavná in 1935. (Anyone have a shovel?) In the museum yard there's a relocated 1741 wooden church that's rarely open.
