The museum is housed in a Renaissance burgher house on Master Paul Square in Levoča.
The museum is located in the historic town hall
The town hall has a rectangular floor plan and the underpass is connected to the bell tower. It was founded around the middle of the 15th century and is one of the oldest town halls in Slovakia. The beginnings of its construction are little known. A fire in the town in 1550 severely damaged the building. Repairs were carried out very quickly, and probably during the renovation in the middle of the 16th century, the outer walls of the town hall were decorated with Renaissance sgraffito in the form of regular squares. Under the mayor Michal Klement, in 1615 the town hall had the town hall renovated and expanded in the spirit of the new Renaissance style with arcade arcades on the south and west sides and a balcony on the floor of the west façade. At the end of the 17th century, the bell tower was connected to the town hall building. The building acquired its present appearance during alterations in the years 1893-1895. Since 1955, it has served as a museum and at the same time a representative building for the town hall. In 1998, a summit of Central European presidents was held at the town hall.
