The Museum was established within the buildings of the former Bistra Carthusian Monastery, which had been managed since 1947 by the Forestry Institute of Slovenia and already housed its museum collections. Consequently when it opened in 1951 the Technical Museum of Slovenia focused on the Institute's forestry, woodworking and hunting collections.
During its long history the museum has managed a number of collections which have since become independent institutions, including Kropa Iron Forging Museum, the Koroška Museum, Ravne na Koroškem, Idrija Municipal Museum and the Slovene Coal Mining Museum, Velenje.
Today the Technical Museum incorporates numerous Departments. The Forestry and Woodworking Department originated as the Forestry Institute Collection and is displayed in a 300 square metre exhibition area. The Hunting Museum Collection also originated in 1947 and now occupies a 700 square metre exhibition area equipped with computer-supported multimedia as well as film and sound recordings. The Fishing Department, opened in 1982, incorporates an ecology section. The Transportation Department occupies the largest exhibition area of about 2,500 square metres, and includes Slovene road vehicles (the oldest from the pre-war period), a collection of prestigious presidential limousines, a collection of automobiles on long-term loan from the German Technical Museum in Berlin and Slovene motorcycles from the Tomos of Koper collection. The Textile Department presents the history of spinning and weaving and the machine production of fabrics and organises workshops in weaving, sewing and painting on silk and cotton. And the Department of Agricultural Machinery Collection, housed in a 1,500 square metre outbuilding, includes a wheelwright's workshop, a farrier's workshop and an exhibition on the history of the mill. Demonstrations of smithing, corn grinding in the mill and bread baking are regularly organised here. Finally the collection of the Electric Machinery Department is displayed in three rooms with an exhibition area of about 370 square metres and presents the history of electrification in Slovenia.
The museum manages various satellites, including Bogenšperk Castle, Pantz Forester`s Gravity Cableway, the Museum of Post and Telecommunications and the Soteska Depot of Vehicles.
