Historia Bohinj
About This Museum
People don't just stumble into Historia Bohinj; they come with a deep curiosity about the resilient spirit of this Slovenian valley. You'll find it tucked away in Bohinjska Bistrica, a place that feels less like a formal institution and more like a conversation with the past. The heart of its story is the incredible Partisan hospital that operated secretly right here during WWII, a tale of courage told through personal artifacts and photographs. It’s an intimate and surprisingly moving experience that connects you directly to the people who lived through these events.
Collection Highlights
