Past events

You are invited to spend the penultimate day of the year in the company of the Škofja Loka Museum!

Together we will say goodbye to this year and talk about all the good, happy, perhaps sad or interesting things we have experienced. We will reflect on our hidden wishes for 2024 and depict them on a New Year's greeting card in graphic technique.

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 Wednesday, 20 December 2023, at 6 pm, you are invited to the Round Tower of the Škofja Loka Museum for a guided tour of the exhibition Ophélie Exploring Škofja Loka Through the Eyes of Tone Mlakar, An Exhibition of Škofja Loka Photos Taken Between 1950 and 1970 and in 2022 with curator Anja Zver.

We planned that the central and final event of the year would be the opening of a new permanent collection of old books from the Ivan and Franja Tavčar Library in December, but the old books had their own plans. What kind of plans, we will reveal to you at the presentation of preventive procedures and necessary restoration and conservation interventions.
