Everything you need for your visit to Kranj and the Gorenjska Museum
What if Gorenjska and Kranj told you their story?
Not the one from textbooks. The one that hides behind castle walls, in burgher houses, among archaeological finds, works of art, and objects that once meant the world to someone.
Walk through our exhibition spaces, discover, pause, and wonder. Get to know Gorenjska through its people, their lives, their creativity, and the traces they left behind.

Accessibility
The Gorenjska Museum has five sites in Kranj: Khislstein Castle, Prešeren’s House, the Town Hall, the Ossuary and the Gallery of Prešeren Award Winners.
Visitors with reduced mobility
The museum collections are housed in historic buildings whose architecture limits adaptations. Khislstein Castle is currently fully accessible to visitors with reduced mobility; at the other sites, ground-floor exhibition spaces can be visited.
Groups
For school and other organised groups we offer guided tours and tailored programmes. To book a slot call 051 615 388, or email ana.debeljak@gorenjski-muzej.si
