Nice little museum
The exhibition "Tržiški šuštarji" at the Musem of Tržič presents the richest shoemaking collection in Slovenia. The exhibition presents the remarkable tradition of Tržič shoemaking, which thousands of people from Tržič made a living with, and offers the opportunity to see first-hand the old manually crafted footwear and the Peka industrial production and their results, which reflected in the shoe-wearing culture of the people of Tržič and other Slovenians. Tržič is one of our oldest sports and skiing centres, from which most of the Slovenian Winter Olympics team members hail. It is not a coincidence, therefore, that the Slovenian Ski Museum opened its doors right here. The permanent exhibition displays the history of skiing, from the first testimonies in prehistoric times until today. A special place is occupied by the skiers from Tržič, who competed at the Winter Olympics for the first time in 1948. The exhibition presents the most resounding results obtained by Jože, Šlibar, Bojan Križaj, Andrej Jerman and Žan Košir. Part of the exhibition is dedicated to the great names of the Slovenian alpine skiing, who achieved the greatest successes at the Olympics and World Championships, and to the winners of the World Cup. In addition to the mentioned exhibitions, the Musem of Tržič displays other crafting collections (tanner, wheelwright, blue-printing and textile collections). One of the rooms is dedicated to the Borns, a family of barons that marked the life in the settlement of Jelendol and the wider area of Tržič from the end of the 19th to the 20th century.

One of the most interesting museums!
If you have the chance to visit this museum and get to know more about slovenian traditional work, please don't hestitate, we were most pleasantly surprised. The museum itself is very interactive, they gathered all the interesting information and presented it in different ways - even for the kids they prepared all kind of interactive corners where they can fully engage. Our guide was amazing (Tina - i hope i remembered it right), she explained us everything and made the tour even more interesting, she knows a lot and she was encouraging our curiosity. I didn't have a clue Tržič is such a beautiful city with so many things to do. We will certainly come back, especially to the museum where we still have a ski part to see.

Experience this local museum and its new interactive exhibitions
Museum in former factory is a special place where you can understand how people lived the small Alpine town of Trzic. Museum of crafts and industry and skiing museum are in the same place. Most interesting for families with children - special children's corners and interactions.
