When leather factory turns into a museum

The Museum of the Leather Industry in Slovenia came into existence in Šoštanj owing to the need to preserve the exceptional cultural and technical heritage of the former Leather Factory Šoštanj. During the years the idea has overgrown the tendency to establish the museum in which the rich tradition of leather industry in Slovenia will be shown. In 2007, the Municipality of Šoštanj made the decision to establish a museum in the rooms of the former factory bathroom. The museum began to operate on 30 September 2009, under the patronage of the public institution Velenje Museum.
