Celje Museum of Contemporary History

The backbone of the Celje Museum of Contemporary History is its permanent and uninterrupted performance of the public service of safeguarding, preserving, researching, presenting, and popularizing the movable cultural heritage in the fields of history and ethnology from the beginning of the 20th century onward. In accordance with the rules and goals of museology, the museum cares for the movable cultural heritage of Celje and the Celje region—and presents it to the widest audience. Its scope of activities interweaves the contemporary national and regional history and ethnology with modernity and relevance. On this basis both the collecting policy and the museum collections, as well as the diverse popularization activities and overall museum offer, are founded. The museum also devotes special attention—with additional educational programs and activities—to the younger visitors.
