OZ Neandertal is a civic association based in Gánovce, Slovakia, founded in 2007 by local volunteers. It works to protect and develop the Neanderthal discovery site at Hrádok and to build a geopark in Gánovce around its travertine heritage. The association runs an annual international art symposium in the Gánovce art park, has set up an open-air mini-museum of Slovak travertine, and provides educational boards and planned educational programmes for schools and visitors. Its work is carried out with the municipality of Gánovce, the Prešov Self-Governing Region, the Podtatranské Museum in Poprad and TANAP, largely on a voluntary basis. The association is open to any individual or legal entity willing to cooperate.
