The Regional Museum in Slaný was founded in 1885 on the initiative of writer Václav Štech and is housed in a Baroque former Piarist college building from 1658 on Masarykovo náměstí. Its collections focus on the regional heritage of the Slaný area – archaeology, history and ethnography. In 2024 an interactive exhibition called Kingdom of Salt was opened.
