Yellow Mansion (Dunajská Streda)
This originally Baroque structure was ordered built in the first half of the 18th century by Varadín Bishop Mikuláš Kondé. The construction was ended in 1770, but in the early 19th century it was converted to classicist style, the form in which it exists to this day. The renovation of the historic site for museum use was carried out during 1970-1974.
The Yellow Mansion is currently the seat of the Žitný Island Museum, which on 1 July 1964 hosted activities corresponding to the traditions of the former museum from 1927. The museum offers besides occasional exhibits for admiration also permanent exhibits of an ethnographic and archaeological character, divided into multiple themed categories.
In 1986, next to the mansion, an exhibit hall was opened, which on an annual basis hosts several art exhibits.
