In 1951 the exhibition of National Liberation Struggle (NOB) was added to previous archaeological collection an exhibited in Knight's Hall. At the time, after Second World War, [[Brežice Castle]] was pretty neglected, because since 1848 Attems family abandoned it and it was used for Austro-Hungarian army post, social housing, offices. In 1917 earthquake badly damaged some parts and Second World War and post war period added to the miserable state. With the care for museum collection since 1949 also conservation and restoration works on the castle complex had to be carried out and space was eventually adapted to museum conditions. Now is one of the biggest and picturesque museum spaces in Slovenia, it has approx. 2000 square meters of exhibition space in 25 halls. With the collaboration of [[National Museum of Slovenia]] they organised and complemented the permanent exhibitions. Every summer [[SEVIQC Brežice Festival]] international music festival is organised, Knight's Hall being the main location for the concerts of music composed between the Middle Ages and the beginning of 20th century. |
