Copies of museum objects

 A touch of the past

There are 12 copies of selected museum objects included in the permanent exhibition “Between Nature and Culture”. The objects represent the features of individual historical periods, production techniques and ways of life both in Slovenia and elsewhere in the world. They can be touched, enabling the visitors a different understanding of museum objects. They are equipped with audio descriptions in several languages and with a short text in large print for the visually impaired.  On the SEM website it is possible to see video clips with subtitles and interpretation in Slovene sign language. The copies are also accompanied with a bilingual publication (in Slovene and English) entitled A Touch of the Past.

Audio descriptions

An exhibition “A Touch of the Past” is accompanied with audio descriptions of the objects.
