Celje Regional Museum, Slovenia
Celje Regional Museum (Pokrajinski muzej Celje) is the second oldest museum in Slovenia, founded in 1882, and one of the largest Slovenian regional museums. It is situated on a beautiful place in the downtown of Celje, by the river Savinja. Most of the collections are exhibited in two main exhibition grounds: in the Old Counts' Mansion and in the Princely Palace.
