The SNP Museum will have a new director, Mičev will end in office – BBonline.sk

Stanislav Mičev will end as director of the SNP Museum in Banská Bystrica on September 30. He was removed from office by the Minister of Culture Natália Milanová (nom. OĽANO-NOVA-KÚ-ZMENA ZDOLA), about whom she personally informed him on Monday.

Mičev has been the director of the museum since 2006. This year he criticized the organizational changes in the founding activities of the museum, which were promoted by the Minister of Culture and Minister of Defense Jaroslav Naď (nom. OĽANO-NOVA-KÚ-ZMENA ZDOLA).

It is the publicly declared discrepancy with the intentions of the founder, according to the statement of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic, that is behind Mičev’s appeal.

“The director of the SNP Museum must be a person who will ensure the proper functioning of the institution and will meet all the requirements of the law or internal rules. As the founder of the SNP Museum is the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic, its director must also ensure the implementation of the decisions of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic. Unfortunately, the current leadership does not do so and there are also several mistakes in the management of the museum, so the Ministry of Culture was forced to take this step. Based on the decision of the government, the SNP Museum is waiting for organizational changes, so it is at the head of the leadership that will bring these changes to life. “It is written in the opinion of the ministry.

The Ministry of Culture has already informed that the digitization center of the museum will come under the professional administration of the Slovak National Gallery. The national exhibition in Auschwitz-Birkenau will be moved under the administration of the Holocaust Museum in Sered, where, in the opinion of experts, its content belongs. The SNP Museum itself is to become part of the Military History Institute and will thus fall under the Ministry of Defense.

“We will subsequently inform about the appointment of the new director,” the Ministry of Culture added in the opinion.

The dismissed Stanislav Mičev is also involved in politics. He is an independent member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Banská Bystrica. In 2017, he ran for chairman of the BBSK, but resigned.

At the same time, Mičev is the leader of the non-parliamentary political party Solidarity – Movement of Working Poverty.
