Our programme offers a variety of unforgettable experiences!
The Slovenian School Museum, with its permanent exhibition School rules! and temporary exhibitions, presents selected content from the field of education and upbringing in Slovenia through time.
It is a truly special experience to sit behind an old school desk in front of a Miss Teacher or Mister Teacher with their stern voices. Teachers dressed in the fashion of a bygone era and holding the obligatory rod evoke the atmosphere of a school of yesteryear. Do you want to relive what school used to be like? Welcome to “living history”!
The Slovenian School Museum also offers museum workshops where visitors can gain new knowledge and experience in a diversity of topics. They can be combined with a guided tour of the permanent or a temporary exhibition or attended as a standalone activity. Without a doubt, this is an enjoyable and high-quality addition to your visit.
We recommend combining a guided tour of the exhibitions with participation in one of the museum's lessons or workshops.
We recommend the Historical School for the Youngest, combined with a creative workshop and a short exhibition tour.
We have developed the Museum Moveathlon workshop. For young explorers, we offer the Know Your School’s History and Explore Museum Objects workshops.
can take part in a slightly more challenging lesson, Vodnik’s School. You can also choose from a wide range of science lessons: Natural History: Domestic Cat, Hygiene, Physics and Arithmetic.
Handwriting, Sunday School, and Good Manners, are suitable for all ages from Year 4 onwards.
Required information: type of programme, date of visit, time of arrival, name of institution, phone number and email address, age of pupils, number of pupils, additional needs and preferences (e.g. pupils with disabilities or foreign pupils).
After making your booking, you will receive a confirmation email containing basic instructions. You must confirm your booking (by email or telephone) at least one week before your scheduled visit.
If a group makes and confirms a booking but then fails to attend the confirmed visit without cancelling in advance, we will be forced to charge the group for the museum visit. You can pay for your visit to the museum with a purchase order or in cash.
Meals: Due to space constraints, we are unfortunately unable to offer you a suitable space for meals in the museum. However, if you would like your children to have a snack during their visit, they can do so in the cloakroom. If you wish to do this, please inform us of this option when you register.
Arrival: Please arrive at the museum as close to the agreed time as possible, as this will allow the programme to run smoothly. During the visit, a teacher/companion must be involved and ensure discipline.
It is advisable for participants to be familiar with the MUSEUM ETIQUETTE before visiting the museum. Participants should listen, ask questions and share their thoughts, but it is not polite to interrupt the guide. The guide will clearly explain which objects can be touched and when.
Following the rules is rarely fun, but it is essential for the safety and well-being of everyone in the museum. Also, appropriate behaviour protects museum objects.
The lessons aim to combine spontaneous learning and fun as participants discover a particular period in the school’s history and its key (educational) features through a living history enactment. This extraordinary experience will be truly successful and unforgettable if participants are properly prepared and informed.
We invite you to feel the pulse of our museum through the film and to visit us in the future.
