Radovljica Apiculture Museum, located in the Baroque Thurn Mansion in the historic centre of Radovljica (together with Radovljica Municipal Museum), was founded in 1959 by the executive committee of the Beekeepers' Association of Slovenia in response to an appeal in the journal Slovenski čebelar [Slovene Beekeeper] to collect more material on the ancient practice of beekeeping. The museum was incorporated into Radovljica Municipality Museums in 1963, thoroughly renovated in 1973 and again in 1996–2000.



Background

The Thurn Mansion was rebuilt in Baroque style by the Counts of Thurn-Valsassina, who owned the manor in the period 1618–1840. The façade of the building is richly stuccoed, and the south western portal is accentuated with strongly schematised busts of the count's family. Some sections of the adjacent French-modelled Baroque park (once known to locals as 'paradise') which once belonged to the manor have been preserved.

Programme

The museum displays the rich tradition of Slovenian apiculture or beekeeping which was an important branch of agriculture in the 18th and 19th centuries. The technical section of the museum shows the most typical habitats of bees and apicultural tools, the biological room highlights the life and work of the autochthonous bee kranjska sivka (apis mellifera carnica), the art exhibition features a unique Slovenian folk art, painted beehive front boards. A copy of the apiary of the famous beekeeper Anton Janša (1734–1773) has been installed in nearby Breznica.

Beside the permanent exhibition on Slovenian apiculture there are also workshops and temporary exhibitions organised by the museum; in 2009 exhibition on 50 years of the museum (Čebelarski muzej 1959–2009) and exhibition on Beekeeping in Gorenjska and Dolenjska region in co-organisation with Dolenjska Museum Novo mesto. The travelling exhibition of beehive front boards, arranged in 1978 and revised in 2001, hosts at home and abroad (i.e. in 2008 in Brussels).
