Permanent exhibitions
Ribnica Museum's main permanent exhibition – Wooden Ware and Pottery – is focused on its handicraft and cottage industries tradition, very typical of the region. It includes vessels, spoons, flooring, joinery products, tools, turned articles, wickerwork and toothpicks. A curious and well-known pottery artefact is a horse-shaped clay instrument, the "horse that whistles through its rear".

The second part of the permanent exhibition presents the material history of Ribnica. The archaeological exhibition on the oldest settlement in the Ribnica Valley depicts a remarkable prehistoric hill fort surrounded by three ramparts. Documents from the 14th century first mention Ribnica's suha roba, wooden arts and crafts. With the 1492 merchant decree of Emperor Friderik III, suha roba spread all over the Holy Roman Empire and provided the economic self-esteem to the people of the region who built-up Ribnica as a religious and cultural centre.
