A Roman lapidary collection with an area of 440 square metres in the cellars of the Old Counts' Mansion is supplemented with the outdoor lapidary collection of architectural remains of public and private buildings and a rich collection of milestones. In the Major Hall, the famous 'Celje Ceiling' in tempera on canvas (14.45m x 9.7m) is a singular example of secular painting from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries in Slovenia.

Collections

The first part of the collection occupies an area of 240 square metres and presents eras from the Stone Age Potočka zijalka site to the late Roman period and the city of Celeia. A Roman lapidary collection with an area of 440 square metres in the cellars of the Old Counts' Mansion is supplemented with the outdoor lapidary collection of architectural remains of public and private buildings and a rich collection of milestones. In the Major Hall, the famous 'Celje Ceiling' in tempera on canvas (14.45m x 9.7m) is a singular example of secular painting from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries in Slovenia. The museum also houses important Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classicist, Empire, Biedermeier and Historicist paintings, sculpture, frescoes, furniture and furnishings, clocks, miniatures and portraits. The ethnological collection on the ground floor features a wide spectrum of exhibits belonging to the material and spiritual culture of the population of the wider Celje region (ploughing implements, small agricultural tools, milk processing implements, accessories for processing flax and wool, small kitchen utensils, lights and textiles, woodworking products) and a collection of folk art.

The museum has over 370 beehive panels from the Zadrečka dolina and Savinja valleys. The numismatic collection covers an area of 60 square metres and the period from the Late Iron Age until the 20th century. Celje is the only town in Slovenia that had its own mint twice in the course of two millennia (in the 1st century BCE under the Kelts and again in the 15th century). The collection of old Savinja ceramics in the museum is one of the most exquisite and richest collections in Slovenia; it presents products from various ceramic factories established in the 19th century. A special 53 square-metre area on the ground floor of the Old Count's Mansion is dedicated to Alma Karlin, an intellectual born in Celje in 1889, who studied languages in London and brought back a substantial collection of objects from her extensive journeys around the world.

The museum’s satellite historical sites include the restored remains of a temple of Hercules from the 2nd century CE located on a terrace of Miklavški hrib on the Savinja left bank; the restored remains of a baptismal site dating from the 5th century CE; Rifnik Archaeological Site; the Šempeter v Savinjski Dolini Roman Necropolis in nearby Šempeter; the Potočka Zijalka Paleolithic Cave findings in Logarska Dolina; Museum Collection in Dobrna (Old Horse Stud), the Schwentner House in Vransko and the Planina Museum Collection.
