STORY
The beginnings of the International Summer School of Museology in Piran go back to Celje when the Museum of Recent History Celje organised different educational and research activities for young people. After 2000 when special museological know-how was more and more in demand within the Slovenian museum community, the summer student museum camps were upgraded into programme of the Summer School of Museology Celje. In 2007 the school moved its activity to the Coast under the auspices of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Primorska.
Piranova – International Heritage Research Centre was established in 2018 as a step forward from ten years activity in the museum and heritage professional trainings carried out by FSK in cooperation with the University of Primorska, Faculty of Humanities, European Museum Academy and other partners.
