ProprietorZasavje Museum, Trbovlje

In 2000, during the renovation of the Zasavje Museum, Trbovlje, new collections were added to its Hrastnik branch, which is housed in a former German elementary school. The collection is now presented in several sections.

Education in Zasavje - presents the development of education in the Municipalities of Hrastnik, Trbovlje and Zagorje. The collection is presented in a reconstructed classroom using copies of original documents and old educational requisites.

Historical collections are also on display, presenting various historical aspects of the region under the themes of archaeology, farming, industry and crafts and modern history, the latter incorporating an important the 2nd World War collection.

The Puppets and Puppeteers collection comprises over 100 exhibits, all in very good condition, which originated from the legacy of an amateur group of puppeteers from Hrastnik that was active during 1946-1977, when amateur efforts were the dominant form of cultural life. The sculptor Lojze Lavrič and the well-known woodcarver Anton Jezovšek from Maribor were the main creators of the puppets. Their costumes were produced in the local sewing co-operative, while the bodies, scenery and stage were made by the puppeteers themselves. A collection of 70 puppets is suitable for touring (marionettes, Java puppets, costumes, scripts and props).
