The National Technical Museum is hosting a small exhibition to commemorate 70 years of the activities of the Research Institute of Geodesy, Topography, and Cartography (VÚGTK). NTM and VÚGTK have collaborated on joint projects, exhibitions, and seminars.
The exhibition, through texts, visual materials, and displays of instruments and tools from the VÚGTK development workshops, presents the history and present-day work of this public research institution, whose societal contribution is exceptional.
The mission of the institute, founded in 1954, is applied and fundamental research in the fields of geodesy, surveying, and cadastre, as well as the development and testing of new methodologies, procedures, and software tools, along with providing expert consultations. Domestic and international projects, which have an extraordinary societal impact, are of great significance for the further development of the institute and play an important role in social relevance. On display at the exhibition are instruments and tools from the VÚGTK development workshops, some of which are part of the NTM collections.
