The exhibition will focus on the best-known fresco, Sunday Christ, which dates back to the mid-15h century and is located on the church’s west-facing façade. In its original setting at the gallery in the Church of the Annunciation in Crngrob, individual fresco scenes will be explored through an ethnographic, art-historical, and historical lens.

This year, the Škofja Loka Museum will once again participate in the medieval event Historial, which showcases the material and cultural heritage of Škofja Loka and presents the traditions of various guilds. These guilds still inspire different activities in local and artistic crafts today.

Fairy tales and folk wisdom, carried to Škofja Loka by the many winds of the world, will come alive through distinctive musical atmospheres and melodies, through the singing word enriched with instruments, soundscapes, and song.

Join us for a Castle Matinee! Every last Saturday of the month, you take a guided tour of our permanent collections and get to know the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Škofja Loka area, and afterwards have a cup of coffee (with a coupon) at the Škofja Loka Castle Cafe while enjoying an excellent view of the medieval town.

On the 120th anniversary of the birth of painter Franc Košir, we are preparing a small exhibition featuring five of his works from the museum’s depot.

In her exhibition of paintings and collages, Agata Pavlovec explores her own identity and delves into the layers of an individual’s personality that are revealed through darkness, shadow and various adopted social roles. The exhibition challenges viewers to reflect on how shadow, darkness and social masking are not merely hidden and mysterious realms; they are spaces of exploration that allow an individual to confront the uncomfortable and often overlooked parts of the self and thus gain a deeper self-understanding.
