Past events

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.

On Monday, 18 May, Škofja Loka Museum will be exceptionally open, and admission will be free. You are welcome to visit us between 10:00 and 18:00.

Do you know how many animals live in our forests? Can you name ten of them? Join us for a workshop by Škofja Loka museum on Friendship Day, where we will create and learn about animals that live in the forest, from the smallest to the largest. As a symbol of our connection with the forest, we will also make a Friendship Tree together.

During the Family Week from 15 to 22 May, admission to the Škofja Loka Museum for families is free.
