 MUSEUM COLLECTIONS

The first collections of the Museum were already formed during the Second World War in the Partisan Scientific Institute. In the immediate post-war years, the museum employed a field team. Collecting was then taken over by museum staff. As the Museum of the People’s Revolution, it primarily collected records of the revolutionary Communist movement before the Second World War, Partisan resistance, the civil war and the Communist revolution during the Second World War and affirmative evidence of socialism after the War.

Even before the fall of the Second Yugoslavia, there were instances of collections documenting social development as a whole appearing alongside the revolutionary-partisan collections (e.g. photographic materials, numismatic, philatelic, phaleristic, machine and appliance collections etc.), specifically the processes of democratization and independence of Slovenia. There are new collections in the making, e.g. the collection of life stories.
