The Zahorie museum is a regional museum of the Senica district, with special focus on the Zahorie or Tramontane region. It was set up in 1905 on the initiative of Dr. P.Blaho within the framework of the so-called Catholic Circle or the Club House. The core of the fund consisted of private, predominantly ethnographic collections of the founder. In 1952 it came to be the Homeland Museum. After the territorial reorganization in 1960, it served as the Municipal Museum at Skalica until 1965, with an exhibition of nature, archaeology, ethnography, earlier and modern history. In 1965, its district competence was returned to it and it was given its present name. The original museum building designed by National Artist Architect D. Jurkovic, until 1989 housed both the exhibitions and the administrative sector. It is remarkable by its architectonic design and its artistic ornamentation. The facade is decorated with mosaic work according to sketches by the Czech painter M. Ales, in the so-called Theatre Hall the walls and the curtain carry paintings with folk motifs by A. Frolko and J. Uprka. The building is a cultural monument. The museum's workplaces are now located in the neighbouring - co-called Mittak's House. The collections of the Zahorie Museum focus on archaeology, history, literary history, ethnography and musicology of the region.
