History

Studio was established by Johann Martin Lenz, a photographer based in Celje, that had this studio built in [[::1899]], with three workrooms on the ground floor and a metal-and-glass structure on the second floor. The studio was heated, enabling the photographer to work in it all year round. In 1919 the house and studio were purchased by Josip Pelikan. The 19th-century glass photographic studio on the second floor makes daylight photography possible even today.
