The Celje School of Museology was founded in 1995 as an educational project run by Tanja Rožbergar Šega from Celje Museum of Recent History. School has eight programmes and it also includes a Piran Museology Summerschool that until now for more than four year takes place in a historical coastal town Piran, usually end of May. With the selection of Slovenian and international lecturers it is intendend for museum experts, students from humanistic disciplines, young experts and future museuology experts.
The school has an international programme council and by now had more than 500 participants. It is organised with the help of museology experts from Museumsakademie Joanneum Graz, Reinwardt Academie Amsterdam and the Slovenian Comitee at ICOM. One of the regular programmes is the Piran Museology Summerschool that takes place at the Institute of Mediterranean Heritage and with the Heritage Department of Faculty of Humanities Koper, University of Primorska. The summerschool constits of lecuters, workshops, film projections and excurions to the nearby museum sights. In May 2010 the school was organised with the help of The British Council, the topic of the four day educational event was Museums and Social Harmony. The aim of the recent edition was to question the role of the museum in the modern society. In the context of cultural heritage the exclusion of social function of the museum is at stake. Function of a museum is not only a place where memories and "official" history meet. The role of the museum as a socially aware institution was debated in a broader context and a more active approach.
In the past editions several Slovenian and museology experts from Croatia, Great Britain, Denmark, The Netherlands and Austria took part in the lecture programme. Among others,Verena Vidrih Perko, Head of Archeology Department at the Gorenjska Museum, Kranj, Leontine Meijer van Mensch, professor at Reinwardt Academie Amsterdam, and Xerxes Mazda, Head of the Learning and Audiences Department of The British Museum collaborated with their views on museology topics. In the short period of time, the Celje School of Museology built up a reputation as a meeting place for Slovenian and international experts in the field of museology.
