Programme
The Association of Slovene Museums helps educate, network and support Slovene museums by connecting them institutionally. It currently has 64 members, comprising almost all museums in the Slovene museum network and some, mostly private, working outside of it. The Association of Slovene Museums is organised as a society, receiving financial support from the Ministry of Culture and dealing with general museum issues. One of its most important functions is organising the biennial Museum Fair, which affords members of the Association the opportunity to present their activities on selected themes to the wider public. The Association also focuses on educating and training museum workers, organising professional visits to museums abroad and providing financial support to individuals that enables them to attend international conferences staged by organisations other than the International Council of Museums (ICOM).
Various departments are active within the Association, the most prominent being those concerned with education, conservation and documentation. The Association thus brings together different museum experts (such as in the departments for documentation, conservation and museum education) and different museums with similar collections (such as the department for technical heritage).
Publications
In 2000 the Slovene Association of Museums published the Guide to Slovene Museums in both Slovene and English. The Association is continuing to develop a Virtual Guide to Slovene Museums, which gives interactive access to 3D virtual presentations of Slovene museums using special 3D photography.
The Association established the Valvasor Award in 1971; since 1998 this award has been administered by the Slovene Museum Society. The Association is the co-publisher of Argo Magazine and the Slovene museum website.
The Association of Slovene Museums is a member of the Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO).
