The Kysuce Museum in Čadca is a regional museum focused on national history and geography. At the same time, it is also a specialized museum with Slovakia-wide competence concerning the documentation of the development of forest railways in Slovakia for museum purposes.

It is a specialized regional cultural institution focusing on the systematic collection, protection, scientific and expert processing of material evidence and it makes such evidence available. The museum concentrates on museum-specific documenting of the development of nature, society, science, technology, culture and art in the territory of Kysuce, from the earliest traces of settlement until the present day.

The museum was established on October 1, 1971, as the District Homeland Studies Museum in Čadca, with its activities officially launched on January 1, 1972. In 1974 the museum changed its name to the Kysuce Museum. Besides the permanent exposition “Kysuce”, the museum building has exhibition premises where short-term exhibitions are held, which the museum enhances with a range of lectures, video-projections and presentations. The Kysuce Museum is one of the main organizers of the international folk culture film festival – Etnofilm Čadca. The Kysuce Museum is administered by the Žilina self-governing region.

The Kysuce Museum in Čadca features the following expositions: Radoľa Manor House, Museum of the Kysuce Village, Historical Back-swath Forest Railway in Vychylovka and the Joint Natural Science Exposition in Krásno nad Kysucou.
