Exterior of Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum, Piran, 2020.
The first collections on the history of seafaring in Piran-Pirano were presented to the public back in 1954, when the Piran Municipal Museum first opened its doors. It was renamed as the Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum in 1967, and since then the museum has conducted extensive research into Slovene maritime history and maritime archaeology. It has thus gathered an important collection of tangible and intangible cultural heritage connected with either seafaring (from its technological and ethnological dimensions to the related artistic work) or with maritime economic branches like salt-making, fishing and naval trade.
The bulk of the museum collections is housed in the 19th-century Gabrielli Palace, but quite a few of its collections are also presented elsewhere.

Founded in 1974, the Božidar Jakac Art Museum is located in the building of the former Cistercian monastery near Kostanjevica by the Krka River, one of Slovenia's finest medieval monuments, which is situated in the picturesque landscape of south-eastern Slovenia. With its over 4,000 m² of exhibition surfaces, it is the largest gallery complex in Slovenia. Initially, the institution focused on presenting the artistic legacy of the Bela Krajina, Dolenjska and Posavje regions. Today, its scope covers also Slovenian expressionism and contemporary artistic production on the regional, national and international levels.
