Upper Sava Museum Jesenice
Encyclopedia
The Upper Sava Museum Jesenice is a regional museum based in the town of Jesenice and the neighboring municipality of Kranjska Gora
, both in northwestern Slovenia
. The museum's name refers to the general area it documents, the upper Sava Dolinka
river valley. Its holdings include two restored historic farmhouses, the archives of the KID company, and display spaces in the two surviving "ironworks castles" (of the original four), manors built in the area during the 16th and early 17th centuries by the owners of local iron-mining and -processing works. The museum was established in its present form in 1992, though several of its constituent facilities operated independently beforehand.
