Culture Minister Dismisses Head of Slovak Technical Museum in Košice Without Explanation

Culture Minister Martina Šimkovičová dismissed Zuzana Šullová, director of the Slovak Technical Museum in Košice, at the end of March without providing any reason for the removal. Šullová had led the museum for six years and successfully stabilized the institution both financially and in terms of staffing during a period of consolidation. She has worked at the museum since 1998 and has dedicated nearly thirty years to museum work, specializing in technical cultural heritage. Šimkovičová, nominated by the Slovak National Party (SNS), is part of the current ruling coalition government that took power following elections last year.
