The Municipal Museum of Radovljica, the youngest unit within the public institute of Radovljica Municipality Museums is located in the historic centre of Radovljica on the first floor of the Baroque Radovljica Mansion (the building also houses the Museum of Apiculture). The museum features an exhibition on Anton Tomaž Linhart, pioneer Slovene dramatist, historian and pedagogue, originally installed in 1974.


Background

The Radovljica Mansion was rebuilt in Baroque style by the Counts of Thurn-Valsassina, who owned the manor in the period 1618–1840. The façade of the building is richly stuccoed, and the south-western portal is accentuated with strongly schematised busts of the count's family. Some sections of the adjacent French-modelled Baroque park (once known to locals as "paradise") which once belonged to the manor have been preserved.

The museum gathers, preserves, and documents movable cultural heritage on the left bank of the Sava River in Municipality of Radovljica. The museum cooperates with different institutions (the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, Kranj Regional Office, the Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Nature Conservation, Kranj, the Historical Archives Ljubljana: Gorenjska Unit, Kranj) and associations (the Slovene Museum Society, the Association of Slovene Museums, the International Council of Museums (ICOM), Slovenia, etc.). It houses a museum library, organises lectures, workshops, and smaller exhibitions, and takes part in Linhart's Meetings. The exhibitions are accompanied by catalogues.
