The exhibition The World of Art of Alenka Gerlovič (1919-2010) / Between Zagreb and Dalmatia, with acrylics and watercolours from the Museum of the Posavje Region, Brežice,
In 1951 the exhibition of National Liberation Struggle (NOB) was added to the previous archaeological collection and exhibited in Knight's Hall. At the time, after World War II, the Brežice Castle was quite neglected because in 1848 the Attems family abandoned it and since then it had been used as an Austro-Hungarian army post, social housing, and offices. In 1917 an earthquake badly damaged some parts of the castle. Then World War II and the post-war period added to its miserable state. With the care for museum collection since 1949 also conservation and restoration works on the castle complex had to be carried out and space was eventually adapted to museum conditions.
The castle has been under a systematic yet phased reconstruction since 2006 and has turned into an impressive and welcoming venue. It is one of the biggest and picturesque museum spaces in Slovenia, with approx. 2000 square meters of exhibition space in 25 halls. With the collaboration of the National Museum of Slovenia museum experts organised and complemented the permanent exhibitions.
The Knight's Hall from the 18th century displays the largest fresco painted hall with a secular narrative in Slovenia. It is believed to be painted by Frančišek Karl Remb, courtly painter of the Attems family which were the wealthiest nobles in the 18th century and possessed almost all the major castles and palaces in Styria and Lower Savinjska Region (Podčetrtek, Štatenberg, Dornava pri Ptuju ...).
Every summer Seviqc Brežice Festival international old music festival takes place at the Knight's Hall being the main location for these well-attended concerts.
The Museum of the Posavje Region is divided into several exhibition sections:
The Museum of the Posavje Region also organises temporary exhibitions in collaboration with four other museums in the neighbouring regions, the Bela krajina Museum, Metlika, the Dolenjska Museum Novo mesto, the Božidar Jakac Gallery, Kostanjevica na Krki, and the Kočevje Regional Museum.
