Established in 1964 within the former Peko shoemaking factory, Tržič Museum focuses primarily on the shoemaking industry, for which Tržič is known throughout the country. By the end of the 19th century virtually every second house in Tržič accommodated a shoemaker's workshop, but in the 20th century the trade slowly became more industrialised, culminating in the development of Peko, in its day one of the most modern footwear factories in Europe. The museum collections present the entire shoemaking process, from the selection of the leather to the making of a shoe. On display are a range of shoemaker's tools, accessories and machinery, plus documents and photographs relating to the footwear industry and the heritage of the shoemakers' associations (guilds, co-operatives, societies). The oldest museum objects (in a reconstructed shoemaker's workshop) date from the last quarter of the 19th century, but most of them originated in the period between the two World Wars or after the Second World War.


Situated nearby, close to the artificial water channels (themselves a listed technical monument) below Neuhaus Castle, is a craftsman's cottage which was once owned by the well-known Polak family of Tržič. Here the museum manages a series of crafts and industry displays which introduce the town's tanners, shoemakers, wheelwrights, charcoal burners, weavers and textile manufacturers and dyers, along with a local history collection and a geological-palaeontological collection. The latter was donated to the museum by the Association of Friends of Minerals and Fossils and features specimens of fossils from the world-famous site of Permian brachiopods, the Dovžan Canyon and the Geological Path.

Tržič Museum and Gallery institution manages several satellites, including the Ferdo Mayer Gallery, Homogea and Kurnik House.
