The Slovenian Alpine Museum dedicated to mountaineering in Slovenia opens in August 2010 at the entrance to the Vrata Valley in the Triglav National Park. The new multifunctional edifice by the architects Boris Leskovec, Alja Vehovec, and Rok Kajtna will host a permanent collection (previously displayed as a part of the Triglav Museum Collection), a specialised library, temporary exhibitions, lectures, screenings, and presentations of Slovene and international mountaineering achievements. The Slovenian Alpine Museum will also serve as an information point where visitors to the museum will be able to book guided mountaineering trips in the wider Alpine area.


The founders of the museum are the Slovenian Mountaineering Association, the Slovene Mountaineering Club Skala, and Mountaineering Club Dovje–Mojstrana, which established the Foundation of Avgust Delavec (a mountain rescuer, alpinist, and collector) in 2008 to raise funds and monitor the museum's construction.
