The Podpolians Museum in Detva is located in the historical part of the city in the building of the former Municipal Office. It belongs to the youngest Detvian cultural institutions, as it was founded in 1994.

This museum is a real guardian of Podpoľania's cultural heritage, tirelessly documenting and making available the wealth of material and spiritual artifacts of the region. Every corner of the museum tells a story about the past and traditions. It has several permanent exhibitions ready for visitors:

• exhibition From Detva to the sea... Július Juraj Thurzo - the first Slovak sea captain

In addition to permanent exhibitions, it also offers presentational events to visitors all year round, such as cultural and educational activities, creative art workshops of a regional nature and also short-term exhibitions.
