With a Fibula into Fable exhibition organised by Koper Regional Museum, Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum, Goriška Museum, Tolmin Museum, Ptuj – Ormož Regional Museum, and Notranjska Museum, Postojna
Originally founded in 1947 as the Postojna Cave Museum following an initiative by local painter Leo Vilhar, it inherited the Karst Collection of the Institute for Karst Research in 1974 following the merger of its speleological collections with those of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts (SAZU). Following the failure of efforts to found a Slovene Museum of Karstology in the 1980s, the Municipality of Postojna upgraded Postojna Cave Museum to create Notranjska Museum in 1990.
The Museum administers various satellites, including the Iron forge at Grahovo, Kravanjeva House in Cerknica, and Predjana Castle. It also manages a small memorial room dedicated to local writer Dr Alojz Kraigher at Postojna Culture House which can be visited by appointment.
