History
The first initiatives to establish a museum in Koper-Capodistria took place as early as the late 18th century, but the main push for its foundation was provided by the first exhibition of the Istrian Region in Koper (Prima Esposizione Provinciale Istriana) in 1910. One year later the then Municipality of Koper-Capodistria established the Municipal Museum of History and Art (Museo Civico di Storia e d'Arte), and after the First World War the spacious early 17th century Belgramoni Tacco Palace building was set aside for use as a museum.
During the Second World War the permanent collection was seriously impaired when many precious works of art were evacuated to Friuli (Villa Manin in Passariano). When "Zone B" was incorporated into Slovenia in 1954, the museum was renamed the District Museum, and in 1967 its name was changed to The Regional Museum of Koper (Museo Regionale di Capodistria). From 1981–1985 the museum's central building was completely renovated and this made it possible to expand the museum's activities and to rearrange its collections.
Mission
In addition to art and cultural history of the Primorska region, the museum covers the archaeological, historical, ethnological, and cultural heritage of the coastal and karst areas. Important attention is being paid to the participation in cultural, scientific, and educational establishments and associations, with particular emphasis on cooperation with Slovene institutions abroad and Italian and Croatian institutions in Istria and Dalmatia.
Today, the parent museum building presents an archaeological collection and collections covering the history of culture, art and history of Istra from its very beginning to the end of the 19th century. The conservation restoration workshop preserves the museum material and organizes the technical days and workshops at the temporary exhibitions in the context of educational activities.
Venues
The museum manages two satellites; in 1983 the Ethnological Collection of Koper Regional Museum was established as an independent branch and a permanent collection was opened in Prem Castle in 2008, presenting castles and building sites in the Reka river basin.
Collections
The recent permanent exhibition Between the Serenissima, Napoleon and the Habsburgs covers the period from 16h to 19th century and presents some of the most prominent residents such as the bishops Paolo Naldini (1619–1691) and Pier Paolo Vergeri jr. (1498–1565), Santorio Santorio (1561–1636), a doctor and researcher who invented the thermometer, and the writer and historian Giovanni Rinaldo (1720–1795). The display includes the weapon collection, presented for the first time.
Both the lapidary collection and the open air collection in the palace garden present the oldest material culture of the coastal and karst areas. The culture and art history collection consists of sculptures, paintings and arts and crafts products, arranged in chronological order and by theme, from early medieval sculptures with guilloche ornamentation (9th–11th centuries) to a fresco copy of The Dance of Death from Hrastovlje and inscriptions in the Glagolitic alphabet.
The Pinacotheca presents paintings, sculptures and products of the arts and crafts, complemented by 17th and 18th century furnishings from the Venetian cultural area, while historical material from the 18th and 19th centuries presents some eminent figures from the fields of medicine, pharmacy, the Enlightenment and political life in the Koper area.
The Archaeological collection covers all archaeological periods from prehistory (from palaeolithic to iron age) throughout Roman times to the middle ages in the Primorska region. One of the many significant archaeological finds is also the late Roman coin hoard, which derives from the late Roman army camp on the site Čentur.
In the pavilion along the Museum's lapidary, a collection of the recent history of the Southern Primorska region is presented, the fight for survival in Brkini, Slovenska Bistrica and Istra, portrayed also on Rapallo painting by Tone Kralj, while at Gramsci Square an ethnological collection is on permanent display.
Exhibitions
The museum presents several of its own and travelling exhibitions throughout the year. In 1995–1998 an exhibition of recent history was assembled in the pavilion adjacent to the museum's lapidary collection, presenting the national and political struggle of the Istrian Slovenes and people from Primorje (the coastland) at the turn of the 20th century. This exhibition covers the periods from the national awakening of the Istrian Slovenes before the First World War up to the incorporation of Zone B of the Free Territory of Trieste and the diplomatic struggle for the incorporation of the area into the Slovene homeland (London Memorandum 1954).
In 2010 a joint exhibition With a Fibula into Fable of Koper Museum and several other Slovenian museums (Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum, Goriška Museum, Tolmin Museum, Ptuj – Ormož Regional Museum, Notranjska Museum, Postojna) was prepared in collaboration with the Archaeological Museum of Istria and Civici Musei di Storia ed Arte di Trieste. The exhibition presented brooches which were found in Western Slovene area, adjacent to the Friuli region. It follows the development of fibulae in that area from prehistoric to Roman times and the early Middle Ages.
