International Museum Day

On the occasion of the International Museum Day, on 18 May 2019, we invite you to our museum, where you can see all permanent and occasional exhibitions free of charge from 9am to 1pm.

As early as 1977, the International Council of Museums ICOM marked the International Museum Day in order to increase the visibility of museums in society and its development.

Over 40,000 museum institutions in more than 158 countries of the world are joining the celebration each year. Among them is Slovenia with its network of diverse museums and galleries.

The theme of this year’s International Museum Day is: Museums as Cultural Hubs: The future of tradition.

Newspaper, first imprint of history

In the gallery of the Museum of Recent History Celje the exhibition Newspaper, first imprint of history – a selection from the collection of old newspapers and magazines of Ali Žerdin, is on display.

At the exhibition you can see the selection of 80 domestic and foreign covers from Museum of print, as author Ali Žerdin addresses his collection of old newspapers. The first part of the exhibition is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War, the second to the world leaders, and the third to the personalities of rock music.

You can visit the exhibition free of charge until 26 May 2019.

Occupation borders 1941-1945

On March 6th 2019 two temporary exhibitions “Border stones, barbed wire, guard towers and minefields. Life on the occupation boundaries in Slovenia, 1941-1945” and “Rogaška Slatina as the border town of the Third Reich, 1941-1945” were opened at the Museum of Recent History Celje.

The exhibitions that were created within the project: “Make this land German … Italian … Hungarian … Croatian! The role of occupation borders in antislovenian politics and in the life of Slovene population”, have examined how the occupying borders, barbed wire and minefields affected the lives of people along the border and what consequences they left behind.

First exhibition presents all the border areas of occupation in Slovenia during the Second World War and their characteristics and peculiarities, while the second is oriented much more locally.

Exhibitions will be opened until March 31st 2019.
