Since 1995, the only children\u2019s museum in Slovenia has been operating within the Museum of Recent History Celje, primarily aimed at children up to 12 years of age. Its symbol and mascot is Herman the Fox, illustrated by artist Jelka Reichman. After 30 years of collaboration, her work is now continued by academic painter Suzana Senica. The museum\u2019s main goals are to raise awareness about the importance of preserving Slovenian and global cultural heritage, foster a positive attitude toward history, culture, and heritage, promote education for sustainable development, and strengthen fundamental human values. Through various interactive approaches, we present content that resonates with children. Only by combining historical and contemporary socially engaged themes can we help the youngest to understand the world better.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, we have showcased 28 original and guest exhibitions, and in 2014, we launched the permanent exhibition Toy Den. After seven years, we renovated the permanent display and presented a selection from our museum collections Children\u2019s Life, Good Toy, and Herman\u2019s Gallery, complementing it with photographs by Josip Pelikan.<\/p>\n

The Children\u2019s Museum is visited and co-created by people of all ages, making it a space for intergenerational gatherings and experiences.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Museum Herman\u2019s Den collaborates with museums and other institutions both locally and globally. We have organized 31 traveling exhibitions for the youngest, including eight abroad. The Children\u2019s Museum is accessible to those with mobility impairments, the blind and visually impaired, for the deaf and hard-of-hearing groups, and people with intellectual disabilities. The museum also serves as a Safe Point.<\/p>\n

Visitors can enjoy a collection of 21 games for the blind and visually impaired, as well as polyhedral.<\/p>\n
