Idrija Municipal Museum

updated 3 weeks ago

The Idrija Municipal Museum was founded in 1953 as the Museum of Idrija and Cerkno. It is housed in Gewerkenegg Castle, which dominates the old center of the town. The 16th-century castle had mostly served as a seat of management and administration for many centuries of the second oldest and largest mercury mine in the world, dating back to 1490. The museum's main aim has been to preserve, present, and research the rich technical heritage of the mercury mine, along with the ethnological features of the life of miners and peasants in this region, which lies on the borderline between the Karst and the pre-Alpine hills. The museum is responsible for the area's natural sights and technical, ethnological, historical, and cultural monuments, as well as for the major monuments of the National Liberation Struggle from the Second World War. It also administers the Cerkno Museum and the France Bevk Homestead in Zakojca, and publishes the Idrijski razgledi Magazine. In 1997, the Idrija Municipal Museum received the Luigi Micheletti Award as the best European museum of industrial and technical heritage.
