The Museum of Post and Telecommunications, which had been housed in Škofja Loka since 1985, was moved in June 2008 to Polhov Gradec mansion. The renewed museum collection was co-established by Pošta Slovenia and Telekom Slovenia, while it remains a separate branch of the Technical Museum of Slovenia. The museum includes displays of national postal history and the history of telecommunications. The museum also houses a collection of stamps. The majority of the exhibited technical exponents are still functioning. Visitors with minor technical knowledge can also become acquainted with the operational basics of various electrical, optical and acoustic appliances used for transmitting information.

Memorial Room at Topolšica
The Memorial Room at Topolšica, some 12 kilometres from Velenje, commemorates the unconditional surrender of German forces in south-eastern Europe at the end of the Second World War. On 9 May 1945 General Alexander Löhr, Commander of the E Group of armed forces and Commander for the South East, signed an agreement here surrendering his units unconditionally. With this document the Second World War ended for Slovenians. Behind the glass wall is a reconstruction of the signing of the capitulation that was one of the most important events on our territory during the Second World War. Visitors can also view a documentary film on the event. One of the main curiosities of the collection is also General Löhr's gun, which was confiscated only a few days after the signing of the capitulation by Ivan Dolničar. The surrender, signed in the health resort of Topolšica, was one of four partial surrenders of the German army at the end of the Second World War.
The memorial room is managed by Velenje Museum and can be visited around the clock every day of the year for free in a park of Topolšica Health Resort.
