The history of the museum house<\/h2>\n

The Museum House Semi\u010d building boasts a lively past. It was built in 1838 as the first school structure in our town. It served as a cradle of knowledge until 1931, when a new, larger primary school was built in Semi\u010d.
\nDuring World War II, it was the location of various educational programmes for partisan fighters: the school for leaders of the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia, the first course for propagandists and correspondents, and the school for national defence.
\nIt went on to house the local field administration office, the medical station, police station, and post office, until it became used as a residential building in the 1960s.
\nIn 1973, it was the location of the ceremonious opening of the Town Museum Collection Semi\u010d with the then director of the Bela Krajina Museum, Metlika Jo\u017ee Dular as keynote speaker. On this occasion, the museum collection became a branch unit of the Bela Krajina Museum, Metlika, which it remains to this day.
\nIn 2019, the Semi\u010d Museum was entirely renovated in the framework of the Misterion project. The building and activities in the museum are run by Kulturni center Semi\u010d (Semi\u010d Cultural Centre), the viticulture and history collections are maintained by the Bela Krajina Museum, Metlika, and the natural history collection is in the care of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History and the Municipality of Semi\u010d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Museum house Semi\u010d’s mission<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

The Museum House Semi\u010d building is innovatively designed and houses a clever combination of Semi\u010d\u2019s cultural heritage and the natural resources from all of the Bela krajina region.
\nThe history and viticulture exhibitions reveal several thousand years\u2019 worth of activities in Semi\u010d and its immediate surroundings, significantly contributing to our understanding and knowledge of the local identity and traditions and their numerous endemic features. The carefully chosen museum pieces give visitors a sense of the hardships and successes in the lives of the Semi\u010d townspeople across different time-periods.
\nThe natural history collection covers the entire Bela krajina region and accentuates all of the area\u2019s natural features: minerals, animal life, vegetation, and waters. The collection familiarises the general public with the special features and wonders of the karstic landscape and increases awareness about the exceptional importance of preserving water sources in the vulnerable karstic environment.
\nAll three collections excel at bringing various educational content to children, young people, and adults. This promotes a culture of living of a higher level and the awareness of how inevitably our past, present, and future intertwine.<\/p>\n

Getting here<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

The museum is located in the centre of the market town of Semi\u010d at St Stephen\u2019s Church, which is visible from afar on all sides. Semi\u010d is 96 km away from Ljubljana and 30 km away from Novo mesto. You can visit us by train<\/a> or bus<\/a>. However, the most comfortable way of getting here is by car. You can take the Ljubljana \u2013 Novo mesto motorway and continue from Novo mesto across the Gorjanci hill range to Jugorje and Semi\u010d; alternatively, you can take the exit already in Ivan\u010dna Gorica, and continue on to Semi\u010d via \u017du\u017eemberk, Dolenjske Toplice, and \u010crmo\u0161njice.
