The presentation of wooden supports in mines and the history of coal mining in Šaleška valley, 2019.
The Coal Mining Museum of Slovenia is dedicated to the social history and technological development of coal mining, as practised in the Šaleška Valley, a coal-rich region around the city of Velenje. As befits such an establishment, a significant part of it is located at the abandoned underground tunnels of the Škale pit, dug beneath the Velenje Power Station. Thus the museum presents coal-mining both through a live experience of entering the museum through a 160 m deep shaft as well as by displaying mining equipment and depicting the lives of miners, their ways and customs.
Set up by experts from Velenje Museum, the museum is managed by the Velenje Coal Mine, the largest and most state-of-the-art coal mine in Slovenia.

The Folk Museum Rogaška Slatina is made up of a curious and highly diverse collection of historic artefacts and stories, as gathered and curated by Nani Poljanec. Nani, a very colourful persona in his own right, has been working on this collection for the better part of his life and currently it is made up of more than 40 different sub-collections. Its three focal points, however, are the Karađorđević dynasty, local studies, and philography (the collecting of autographs, especially those of famous persons).
Since 2012 the better part of this collection is publicly displayed at Ana's Mansion (Anin Dvor), a newly built exhibition venue (that also holds a display of art graphics) in the spa town of Rogaška Slatina. The exhibition was enlarged and renovated in 2017.
For a long time, the Folk Museum of Nani Poljanec, Rogaška Slatina was more or less a privately-held collection. In 2006, a part of it was displayed in The Cabinet of the Domestic Research Society.
