Čebelarski muzej Radovljica
About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of Slovenia's gorgeous Gorenjska region, within the beautifully preserved medieval center of Radovljica, you'll find a museum entirely devoted to the humble honeybee. It’s a wonderfully sweet and surprising place that dives deep into the rich tradition of Slovenian beekeeping, a craft so cherished it's practically woven into the national identity. You can marvel at historic painted beehive panels, which are genuine folk art treasures where each intricate scene tells a story. The real magic is discovering how this small, hardworking insect has shaped the culture and landscape of this corner of the world.
Collection Highlights
The stars of the show are the incredible 18th and 19th-century frontal panels, colorfully painted with everything from biblical scenes and satirical figures to everyday life, all serving as a guide for the bees. You can also see traditional hive types and tools used by generations of beekeepers.
