Managed byMunicipality of Ravne na Koroškem

Museum in Ravne na Koroškem opened in 1953 at Ravne Castle (Streiteben in German). In 2002 twelve Koroška municipalities signed agreement to constitute one Koroška Regional Museum that merged Koroška Regional Museum, Slovenj Gradec Unit and the Koroška Museum, Ravne na Koroškem and all museums' units and sites. Management of the museum moved to administrative building of The Ravne Steelworks in the year 2003.

Location

The Ravne Castle is a fortress built in the 16th century by the Hebenstreits. In the 17th century a foundry was built close to the castle on a terrace beside the River Meža, and this later developed into the well-known steelworks.

Collection and sites

Nowadays permanent exhibitions housed in the castle include an ironworks collection, a mining collection, a forestry collection, a wood industry collection, an ethnological collection, and a lapidary collection. There is also an open-air museum. The museum runs several satellites, including the Prežihov Voranc Cottage; and the Mining and Ethnographic Collection, Črna na Koroškem. The Forma Viva Open Air Steel Sculpture Collection is located in Ravne na Koroškem.
