Support of culture
The Social Activities Department of Idrija Municipality covers the field of education, sport, culture, science, health care and social care; its tasks depend on legislation. Both of Idrija’s municipal institutions, the library and the museum, were established and are now financed jointly by the municipalities of Idrija and Cerkno. The preservation and restoration of cultural and technical heritage monuments is financed by the municipality as well as the state.
The municipality financially supports various cultural events, among them annual traditional ‘castle evenings’ held in the restored castle atrium. It also supports the activities of various cultural associations and issues the cultural publication Idrijski razgledi. The rich musical tradition of Idrija is reflected in the large number of its children entering music school.
Mercury mining heritage
Idrija is marked by the 500 years of tradition in the mercury mining. The mine was closed down in the 1990s but the town has preserved many technical monuments. Part of the old mercury mine has been transformed into the Idrija Mine Museum and the Idrija Castle (1533) now hosts the Idrija Municipal Museum. Slovenia’s oldest preserved theatre building, built by Maria Teresa of Habsbourg, is also located in Idrija as the mining town flourished with the help of international technical intelligentsia brought here by business.
Public Fund for Cultural Activities
The local branch of the Union of Cultural Societies of Slovenia (ZKDS) brings together 17 local cultural associations (drama groups, choirs, painters, etc) comprising about 450 members. The oldest-established of these is the Brass Music Association, a brass orchestra which celebrated its 340th anniversary in 2005. The local branch office of the Public Fund for Cultural Activities of the Republic of Slovenia (JSKD), located at the municipal headquarters, also assists local associations and organises cultural events.
