Peršmanhof — Peršmanov muzej

On initiative of the Verein Društvo Peršman, the Peršmanhof was expanded into a modern, contemporary history museum and redesigned in content in 2012. Over 100 m² of exhibition space now focus on the key themes of persecution and resistance of the Kärntner Slovenes, with particular attention to the Peršman family, their murder on 25 April 1945, and the judicial history of the crime. The entire exhibition is conceived in two languages, the Kärntner regional languages (German and Slovenian).

The permanent exhibition at the Peršmanhof provides an extensive overview of the history of the Kärntner Slovenes in the past century. The modern exhibition architecture with retractable space elements and drawers invites visitors to linger and encourages them to delve into individual thematic areas. Audiovisual media – listening stations and film contributions – as well as numerous biographical examples bring the experiences of eyewitnesses to the foreground and make the regional history vivid and comprehensible.
