The [[Planica Museum]] is dedicated to the history of ski jumping and flying in Planica, an alpine valley in north-western Slovenia. As this valley has been one of the prime sites for the development of ski flying on a national as well as a global scope, the museum consequently also represents some of the history of this sport as such. Set in a newly constructed pavilion as a part of a nordic skiing complex called the Planica Nordic Centre, it opened its doors in [[established::2016]].
 
  
The museum is bent on preserving, expanding and disseminating knowledge on the cultural, technical and material heritage of about a century of ski jumping in Slovenia.

==Background==
 
==Background==
  
The history of ski jumps in the Planica valley started back in the late 1920s, when first considerations to develop the valley into an international sports tourism centre have surfaced. This was followed by the construction of the first, 20 metre ski jumping hill, in 1930. A much bigger hill, called the Bloudek Giant [Bloudkova velikanka], was finished in 1934, when it also claimed its first world record. Soon after, the first ever jump over 100 metres was realised there, and along it also a new discipline called ski flying. Until 1950, all but one ski flying world record was achieved in Planica.

Until 1950, all but one ski flying world record had been achieved in Planica.
  
About three decades later, a new hill was constructed in 1969. This one maintained its dominance in ski flying for more than three decades, having been the site for about three quarters of all record lengths, among them also the first one over 200 metres. Altogether, 42 world records were made here, and all of this played a part in Planica becoming something of a cultural phenomena in Slovenia.

At the end of 2015, the Planica Nordic Centre was established as a modern nordic skiing complex that now boasts altogether eight renovated ski jumping and flying hills  and which also caters to cross-country skiing and various summer activities. The three bureaus that handled the architectural dimensions of the project – from landscape design to the pavilion that houses the museum – are [[Studio Akka]], A biro and Stvar. Their work was honoured for outstanding Slovene achievements in visual creativity by the TREND award 2015.  
+
In 1969, another and even more ambitious flying hill was erected. This one followed suit as the prime site for most record lengths until 2005. Together with some exceptional sportsmen, all of this played a significant part in Planica becoming something of a cultural phenomenon in Slovenia.  
  
==Museum exhibitions==
 
  
A significant part of the exhibition came from the collection of the [[Slovene Sports Museum]], which is at least formally a part of the Planica Institute of Sports. The museum is divided into three parts, each of them on its own floor. The ground floor, freely open for everyone, is composed of a few interactive video displays that present and illustrate both the local as well as global histories of ski jumping and cross-country skiing. This floor will also house a souvenir shop.
+
==Permanent collection exhibition==
  
The upper two floors deal with the developments in Slovenian ski jumping and its prime protagonists, both the sportsman as well as the craftsman. Of the latter, the most important figures are Stanko Bloudek, Ivan Rožman and the brothers Vlado and Janez Gorišek. The first two are responsible for the "Bloudek Giant" (which was, curiously, actually constructed by Ivan Rožman and somewhat unfairly named after Bloudek), and the era of this ski jumping hill (1934 – 1969) is covered on the first floor. The construction of the Gorišek brothers hill marks the second era, covered on the second floor. Among many other things, the exhibitions presents various cups and medals, ski jumping equipment, explanatory texts, pictures, videos, an overview of ski jumping related philately and a collection of equipment from different eras that was used by [[Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia)|Radio-Television Slovenia]] to transmit hte jumps via radio and television. There is also a sport suit used by Slovenian jumpers at the cult 1984 Sarajevo Olympics.

The museum is divided into two parts, each on its own floor. An additional ground floor, freely open for everyone, comprises a few interactive video displays that present and illustrate both the local as well as global histories of ski jumping and cross-country skiing.

Nordic Centre Planica 2016 pavilion and ski flying hills.jpgThe pavilion and the ski fly hills at the Nordic Centre Planica. The pavilion was conceived by STVAR architects, 2016.

The Planica Museum is dedicated to the history of ski jumping and flying in Planica, an alpine valley in northwestern Slovenia. Historically, this valley has been one of the prime sites for the development of ski flying as a sports discipline of its own, and consequently, the museum also presents the wider history of ski jumping as such. Nevertheless, its main focus is to present and develop both the cultural as well as the technical heritage of almost a century of ski jumping in Planica.

At the end of 2015, the Nordic Centre Planica was completed and inaugurated. It is a modern Nordic skiing complex that boasts eight newly built or renovated ski jumping and flying hills and caters to cross-country skiing and various summer activities. The three bureaus that handled the architectural dimensions of the project are: A.biro (ski jumps and bridges), STVAR Architects (service and performance buildings, pavilion) and Studio AKKA (landscape, including the lay-out of infrastructure and cross country lanes).

Set in a newly constructed pavilion as a part of the Nordic skiing complex called the Nordic Centre Planica, the Planica Museum opened its doors in 2016.


The exhibition was collected and set up by Iztok Durjava from the Slovene Sports Museum which is also managed by the Institute of Sports of the Republic of Slovenia Planica.

Background

The history of ski jumping in the Planica Valley starts in the late 1920s, when first considerations to develop the valley into an international sports tourism centre surfaced. Next followed the construction of the first ski jumping hill in 1930. A much bigger one, called the Bloudek Giant (Bloudkova velikanka), was finished in 1934, when it also claimed its first world record. Soon after, the first ever jump over 100 metres took place there, and along with it also a new discipline called ski flying. Until 1950, all but one ski flying world record had been achieved in Planica.

Planica Museum 2016 Bloudek vitrine.JPGStanko Bloudek (1890-1959) was a Slovenian sport inventor, designer, builder and educator, who planned and enlarged the 'Bloudek giant' flying hill in Planica as early as 1934. Presented a the Planica Museum opened in 2015.

In 1969, another and even more ambitious flying hill was erected. This one followed suit as the prime site for most record lengths until 2005. Together with some exceptional sportsmen, all of this played a significant part in Planica becoming something of a cultural phenomenon in Slovenia.


Permanent collection exhibition

The museum is divided into two parts, each on its own floor. An additional ground floor, freely open for everyone, comprises a few interactive video displays that present and illustrate both the local as well as global histories of ski jumping and cross-country skiing.

The upper two floors deal with the development of ski jumping in Planica and its prime protagonists, the sportsmen as well as the craftsmen. Of the latter, the most important figures are Stanko Bloudek, Ivan Rožman, and the brothers Vlado and Janez Gorišek. The first two are responsible for the Bloudek Giant, and the first floor covers the era of this ski jumping hill (1934–1969). The second floor features the construction of the Gorišek Brothers Hill, which marks the second era.

The museum collection displays various pieces of ski jumping equipment, different cups and medals, accessories of the aforementioned engineers, some museum specimens of the technology used by Radio-Television Slovenia to transmit the jumps, sport suits worn by Slovenian jumpers, and so on. There is naturally also a series of explanatory texts, pictures, holograms, and videos, many of them gathered in a small reading room.
