Sploh Institute

Sploh Institute is a non-for-profit arts organisation, established in 1999, which engages in music and performing arts production, publishing and education. With its wide variety of activities, the institute has become an important internationally minded node for research, networking, collaborations, education, and creativity not only in the field of music but also in dance, poetry, theatre, and multimedia arts. It supports not only the development of young artists but also of different audiences, with the latter apparent in the institute's focus on children and marginal groups.

Throughout the years the institute has cooperated with numerous producers from Slovenia, from Glej Theatre and Šerpa Literary Art Association to En-Knap Productions, Via Negativa, Bunker Institute, Sonica International Festival of Transitory Art and others. Its main centre of activities is Španski borci Culture Centre, though many of its productions take place elsewhere, most often in Klub Menza pri koritu. The founder and director of this platform is the improvising musician and composer Tomaž Grom, whose exploits earned him the Golden Bird Award in 2007.

Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice


The Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice displays the railway heritage of Slovenia, as gathered and preserved by the Slovene Railways company and its predecessors. Featuring still functional old steam locomotives set in a former locomotive shed, this is a small, yet very curiously laid-out and comprehensive, museum.

The museum is divided into two sections: a collection of vehicles (steam locomotives, coaches, wagons and other historic rolling stock) and a permanent exhibition of old apparatuses, tools and other items of heritage relating to various fields of railway history and technology. Thematic temporary exhibitions are held here, as are occasional related events. Additionally, regular rides with historic trains are also a part of this enterprise.
