The Podtatranské Museum in Poprad was established by the Hungarian Carpathian Society in 1876. Due to disagreements over the location of the museum between Veľká and Poprad, the Tatra Museum in Veľká was opened in 1882 and the Carpathian Museum in Poprad in 1886. In 1945, both museums were merged into one named the Tatra Museum of the Poprad District (since 1961, the Podtatranské Museum).
