A place where technical heritage and nature tell many great stories.

Behind the gates of a former Carthusian monastery you can find Slovenia’s largest museum – The Technical Museum of Slovenia. It is located in the most beautiful natural surroundings on the outskirts of Ljubljana. Several collections can be seen in the museum: from forestry, fishing and agricultural department to textile, printing, traffic and electrical engineering.
Apart from the numerous permanent displays, we also hold temporary exhibitions. The exhibition Sto let brnenja na našem nebu, which is about the Rusjan brothers, runs from 25th March until 7th November 2010. This year we have also prepared a temporary exhibition about the lynx in Slovenia The beginning of the generation of Štefa and Arpad, which will also be on display until 3rd December 2010.
