BEEKEEPING MUSEUM

Museums
4/5
1 review

It is unique in Slovenia. Bees and honey from the origins (or almost) to nowadays become familiar to you. The museum also has a fine collection of hive panels with religious motifs at the very beginning and humorous and satirical motifs at the end. It is also a strange hive as that of a lion or a Turk smoking his pipe. The children are amazed by the activity of the museum's hive. This hive with transparent panels allows you to visualize the activity of a colony. Numerous educational workshops, documents in French. A great success!

ŠIVEC HOUSE

Art gallery exhibition space foundation and cultural center

Located at number 22 of the main square, this gothic house, with a vaulted hall, houses an art gallery. There are several temporary exhibitions, with a large part devoted to illustrators. The house is interesting because it bears the stigma of a bygone era. Built during the 16th century, a superb fresco depicting the creation of Eve proudly hangs on its façade. Inside, a formidably preserved gothic ceiling and a black kitchen. Take a look at the facades of the Mali and Vidic houses!

BOUTIQUE LECTAR WORKSHOP

Museums

Housed in a 500-year-old building that once housed the store and workshop for the famous gingerbread (1766), you'll find candles and honey cakes in the shape of hearts and St. Nicholas. The workshop-boutique is unique in that it's the only place where you can actually see the old-fashioned decoration of these famous gingerbreads. You can also buy unusual souvenirs (little houses, stars, Christmas trees...). The gingerbread can also be named after you or anyone you like. A great family experience!

JISIPINA FOUNTAIN

Fountains to see

This fountain was made in the famous studio of Ivan Vurnik, an artist from the city, known for having opened the first school of architecture in the country. The statue itself is by Jožef Pavlin. It is a strong tribute to the financial and personal commitment of Josipina Hočevar (1824-1911) to access to education. At that time, it was very rare for a statue to be dedicated to a woman. It depicts a schoolboy holding a medallion depicting Josipina and a textbook in his hands.
