The present museum came about as a a result of conditions after the Second World War, when the new state border between the then Yugoslavia and Italy placed the town of Gorica-Gorizia in Italy and the remaining part of the Goriška region which had previously gravitated towards the town was left without a focus. To replace what was lost, a study library and district museum were established in the fast-growing town of Nova Gorica.
Goriška Museum was founded in 1952, initially within the primary school of Solkan. In 1955 it was moved to the restored Renaissance-style Kromberk Castle, an early 17th-century reconstruction of a fortress erected in the first half of the 13th century by Count Henrik of Dornberk. The Trenta Lodge TNP Information Centre and Museum and various other small museums joined the Goriška Museum in 1958, and in the following years the activities of the Goriška Museum spread to the upper Vipava Valley and the Karst, where additional museum collections were arranged.
The two permanent exhibitions in Kromberk Castle are the Gallery of Older Art and the Gallery of 20th-century Artists from Primorska; the other two are the cultural history collection and the lapidary collection in the castle park. The museum also has its own library and manages the Avgust Černigoj Gallery, Lipica, Dobrovo Castle, Lojze Spacal Gallery and the Karst House, Štanjel, the Museum Collection of the Soča Front at Sveta Gora, Trenta Lodge TNP Information Centre and Museum, and the Villa Bartolomei Museum Collection.
