Under the auspices of the Institute of Radovljica Municipality Museums, there are five separate historical museums. In the centre of Radovljica, is the Radovljica Municipal Museum with a permanent exhibition of the first Slovene playwright, historian and pedagogue Anton Tomaž Linhart (1756-1795), the Museum of Apiculture which presents, among other things, this unique tradition of Slovene folk culture, and the Šivec House Art Gallery with a rich collection of book illustrations and monthly exhibitions. Eleven kilometres south of Radovljica, in Kropa, is the Iron Forging Museum, which recreates the town’s hundred-year-old tradition of iron work. And last but not least, some seven kilometres to the north of Radovljica, in Begunje na Gorenjskem, one can visit the Museum of Hostages, a memorial to the victims of Nazi terror during the Second World War. See the institute’s English language website for directions, opening times and admission fees.
