Description

The Koroška Regional Museum preserves and presents the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Carinthia. Its four units – the Slovenj Gradec Museum, the Dravograd Museum, the Ravne na Koroškem Museum, and the Radlje ob Dravi Museum – display fascinating museum objects that tell stories about the culture, way of life, technical achievements, and economic development of the region. The exhibitions reveal rich archaeological, historical, and ethnological peculiarities, with a special emphasis on the creative achievements of individuals such as the writer Prežihov Voranc, the composer Hugo Wolf, the priest Jakob Soklič, the pioneer of sustainable forest management Franjo Pahernik, and the folk music ensemble Štirje kovači.   

The Old Ironworks is a valuable monument of industrial heritage and a testament to centuries of ironworking tradition in the Mežica Valley.
The Pahernik collection preserves the memory of the forestry heritage of the Pahernik family and their connection to nature and sustainable forest management.

Additional Offerings

In addition to permanent and temporary exhibitions, the Koroška Regional Museum offers expert guided tours for groups, and a rich cultural program featuring concerts and performances in intimate museum settings. The pedagogical program provides a diverse range of workshops for young people, while adult education workshops invite participants to in-depth encounters with cultural heritage. The museum shop boasts a selection of attractive products, souvenirs, and interesting publications.
