Background
First the museum formed part of the Municipality of Ribnica's Mikl House cultural complex, that comprised also the Mikl House Gallery and the Mikl House Library. In 2011 the Museum of Ribnica and the Mikl House Gallery became two administrative units of the newly established Ribnica Handcraft Centre.
Permanent exhibitions
Documents from the 14th century first mention Ribnica's suha roba, wooden arts and crafts. With the 1492 merchant decree of Emperor Friderik III suha roba spread all over the Holy Roman Empire and provided the economic self-esteem to the people of the region who built-up Ribnica as a religious and cultural centre. The Nova Štifta baroque church was an important pilgrimage site in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Slovene Renaissance composer Jacobus Gallus Carniolus was born in Ribnica in 1550.
The Ribnica Museum's permanent exhibitions include: Wooden Ware and Pottery presenting the typical cottage industries of the Ribnica region including vessels, spoons, flooring, joinery products, tools, turned articles, wickerwork and toothpicks. The most widely known pottery form is the so called "horse that whistles through its rear". The other part of the permanent exhibition presents the real history of Ribnica, but follows the fairytale of how Ribnica was established. An archaeological exhibition on the oldest settlement in the Ribnica Valley depicts a remarkable prehistoric hill fort surrounded by three ramparts. In the defence tower of the castle an exhibition bearing the name Bloody Fight with the Witch Menace presents torture devices and documents from the actual trial of a witch hunt that took place in Ribnica in 1701.
A few minutes from the Ribnica Museum, an original blacksmith forge from the 19th century is preserved and on display.
