The six museums of the three countries on the Ukrainian-Hungarian-Slovak border will be covered by a joint project to preserve cultural heritage and create modern tourist products. Those six include the Mukachevo History Museum, three museums in Slovakia and two in Hungary.
The project was approved within the framework of the cross-border cooperation program of the European Neighborhood Instrument "Hungary – Slovakia – Romania – Ukraine 2014-2020". On the part of Ukraine, it will be implemented by the Association of Small and Medium Business Development and Innovation "Uzhgorod – XXI Century" as the main partner of the consortium.
