Collections
The collections of the Slovene Sports Museum comprise the Faculty of Sport Museum Collection and, since 2004, the Olympic Committee of Slovenia Archives. A great number of donations and acquisitions of artefacts have been made by individuals, collectors, athletes, sport workers, experts and pioneers, mainly consisting of sport equipment, medals, cups, sport uniforms, etc.
Slovenia is strong especially in winter sports (skiing, ski jumping), gymnastics, handball, basketball, shooting, swimming ... so the collection presents Slovene sport legends such as Mateja Svet, Mitja Petkovšek, Borut and Britta Bilač, Nataša Urbančič, Stanko Lorger, Cveto Pavčič, Bogdan Svet, Jure Zdovc, Mik Pavlovič, Marko Račič, Andrej Jelenc, and others.
The heritage of ski jump legend and construction engineer Stanko Bloudek, and the Planica collection of Svetozar Guček (both originally from the Faculty of Sport Museum Collection), were transferred to the newly established Planica Museum in 2016.
Temporary exhibitions
The Slovene Sports Museum prepares temporary exhibitions that coincide with international sporting events such as the Soccer World Cup 2002, the Olympics and other world championships, as well as those taking place in Slovenia: the European Championship in Waterpolo 2003 in Kranj; the European Championship of Gymnastics for Men in Ljubljana (2004) with an exhibition on Miro Cerar, our most successful Olympic sportsman. In 2003 alongside the 140th anniversary of the founding of the South Sokol Society, an historical exhibition on this legendary group which marked the beginning of sport manifestations, sport clubs, and important political movements in Slovenia from the early 20th century, etc. took place and was visited by over 6,000 people.
Prospects
Research carried out in 1999 by Rajko Šugman and Marko Rožman (Sport Encyclopaedia of Slovenia) has shown that 21 % of Slovenes are active sportsmen. The Slovene Sports Museum definitely has its supporters and visitors, however, it needs better accommodation. One of solutions would be to place the museum in the Sports Park Stožice complex.
