Museum & Gallery

Milovníci rýchlych motoriek majú v ostatných rokoch veľa príležitostí prezrieť si ich najnovšie modely. Iba málo nadšencov však vie, že čarom unikátnych starších modelov slovenskej výroby sa dá pokochať v Považskej Bystrici. V tamojšom Vlastivednom múzeu tvoria spoločne s prírodovednými exponátmi ťažisko expozície.

Vlastivedné múzeum v Považskej Bystrici bolo zriadené v roku 1984 a sústreďuje sa na čo najpodrobnejšie zmapovanie svojho mesta a regiónu. V zbierkach múzea sú sústredené predmety prírodovedného charakteru a to z oblasti geológie,botaniky a zoológie. Pozornosť návštevníkov, predovšetkým deti, pútajú hlavne preparáty zvierat, od malých myšiek a vtákov až po zubra. 

Dospelým návštevníkom, hlavne mužského rodu, sa oči rozžiaria pri druhej časti expozície, ktorá je súčasťou dokumentácie vývoja mesta v 20. storočí. Osobitnú pozornosť venujú pracovníci múzea histórii strojárenstva v Považskej Bystrici, kde bol v roku 1928 založený podnik Zbrojovka. Po jeho zoštátnení sa v roku 1947 začína výroba jednostopových motorových vozidiel. Vo svojich zbierkach má múzeum 37 kusov historických motocyklov, ktoré sa vyrábali v Považských strojárňach. V zbierkach sa nachádzajú aj unikátne prototypy a pretekárske modely vyrobené pre potreby pretekárskeho oddelenia, ktorého jazdci sa zúčastňovali všetkých významných pretekov sveta. K najcennejším exponátom patrí prvý motocykel vyrábaný na Slovensku Manet M90 s rokom výroby 1947.
