Background
Operating since around 1500, the Idrija mercury mine used to be one of the largest mercury mines in the world, which consequently meant that the town was of some regional importance. When in mid-18th century the mine was at the height of its development, Idrija was given town privileges and had numerous public buildings built. Among them was the Miners' Theatre House, its construction financed from voluntary contributions by the mercury mine employees and nowadays usually considered to be the oldest such building in Slovenia (though the provincial capital Ljubljana did manage to acquire its own, slightly larger theatre just a few years earlier).
In the years that followed, various travelling German and Italian theatre groups most commonly appeared in the Idrija theatre, but after 1850 an increasing number of performances were in Slovene. The establishment of the Idrija Dramatic Society in 1889 was of a particular importance for this. Nevertheless, in 1905 the stage was removed and the building became the town's fire department headquarters. In 1913 it was renovated as a theatre again, but got closed down only a year later only to be used as accommodation for prisoners of Worl War I. It got once again renovated in 1920 only to be turned into a storage building three years later.
After some further lively history, it was reopened in 1952 as a local cinema (but still subject to quite some going-ons). In 2001 the building was declared a cultural monument of national importance and as of 2015 run by the Idrija City Library. As of 2012, the building is considered a part of mercury mining heritage and as such featured on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
