Ta veseli dan culture (day of culture) at the Banka Slovenije Museum and Mala galerija

As part of the informal holiday Ta veseli dan kulture, which we mark each year in Slovenia on 3 December, the birthday of poet France Prešeren, we will be offering a special programme for children and adults at the Banka Slovenije Museum and exhibition room Mala galerija.

On Saturday 3 December 2022, children will be able to join us at the Banka Slovenije Museum at 11 am for specially designed thematic workshops. What we will offer includes a didactic puzzle game of occasional coins that will help them understand more closely certain important events and figures in Slovenian history, they will be able to write a postcard from the Museum, put a Banka Slovenije stamp on it and also post it, while those a little older will have the chance to use study sheets to take an independent educational stroll through the Museum, and they will also make up a map of Europe with us and in a didactic way learn about the euro area, its members and the various monetary units in Europe. Everyone can also view the most attractive exhibits - ranging from a cash machine (ATM), old piggy banks and money in Slovenia to a chair made of shredded euro banknotes, and bar made of gold. These exhibits and a more in-depth look at the tasks and operation of Banka Slovenije will also be available for adult visitors, who can take a guided tour at 4 pm.

We are accepting reservations for the children's workshops and guided tour of the Banka Slovenije Museum up until 30 November 2022 online at [email protected]. Do join us!

We are also organising a special programme for children at the Mala galerija Banke Slovenije, which is currently hosting an exhibition of UL ALUO photography students entitled Odboj (Bounce). This exhibition looks in a practical way at the creative process and invites visitors to enter into it and into a relationship with the photographers and exhibition itself. We especially invite children to the workshop at 4 pm, where they will be able to make simple casts and photograms. Registration is not required. On Saturday 3 December 2022, children are therefore also invited to join us at 4 pm in the Mala galerija Banke Slovenije.
