The opening of the exhibition of situla art Reflections of Prehistory in Bronze from the collection of the Dolenjska Museum Novo mesto, curated by Borut Križ and supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Podgorica,
The origins of Dolenjska Museum, Novo mesto may be traced back to the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of Novo mesto in 1865, when the first collection was established. A Museum Society was founded here in January 1941 and revived after World War II. The first permanent collections were displayed in 1953.
The museum carries out public service dealing with protecting, preserving, researching, exhibiting and popularising moveable cultural heritage from the fields of archaeology, ethnology, history, cultural history, and art history in the broader Dolenjska region. It represents a bridge between the history in textbooks and real remnants of the past. It widens knowledge with permanent and temporary exhibitions and with publishing activity.
The conservation restoration workshop organised within archaeological department maintains the archaeological heritage.
Today the museum encompasses a total of five buildings, holding six departments (archaeological, ethnological, recent history, art history, cultural history and education). The museum keeps over 22,000 historical objects, 3,000 of them displayed in permanent collections. It also presents changing exhibitions on historical and artistic themes, and undertakes research, publishing and exhibition activity, as well as systematic educational work.
The museum manages two satellites – the Jakac House, Novo mesto and the Camp Baza 20 Memorial Site, which includes cultural monuments of national importance Baza 20, partisan hospitals Zgornji Hrastnik and Jelendol with associated structures and burial places, which are owned by the Republic of Slovenia.
The museum houses five collections:
