Description
200th anniversary of the founding of the Provincial Museum for Carniola, the first museum in Slovenia
On 15 October 1821, the Carniolan Provincial Estates adopted the decision to found a provincial museum. Responsibility for it was assumed by the Carniolan Agricultural Society. On 8 June 1826, Emperor Franz I approved the founding of the museum, and decreed that it should be named the Provincial Museum (Landesmuseum). This was the first museum in the Slovenian lands, thereby signalling the start of Slovenia’s museum tradition.
