Town Hall - Gorenjski Museum
The Town Hall, a significant cultural monument in Slovenia, is notable for its architectural beauty and historical significance. It combines two structures into one fascinating site that tells the story of the region and its people.
Historical Significance
The older section of Town Hall, dating back to the first half of the 16th century, features a distinctive pillared shed that opens onto the square. This area is utilized for temporary museum and art exhibitions. The second section, an aristocratic manor built in the early 17th century, showcases stunning Renaissance architecture. Notably, a ceremonial fireplace and old-Slovenian graves from the 9th and 10th centuries were uncovered in 1965, now on display for visitors to appreciate.
Exhibitions and Collections
The Town Hall is home to three permanent collections, featuring:
- Works by sculptor Lojze Dolinar (1893 – 1970)
- The Iron Thread archaeological exhibition
- Ethnological folk art representing the Gorenjska region
Additionally, the gallery on the ground floor regularly hosts museum and art exhibitions, contributing to a vibrant cultural atmosphere.

Gorenjski muzej je pokrajinski muzej, ki ima glavne razstavne prostore v Kranju, obenem pa še pet dislociranih lokacij po celi Gorenjski. Uslužbeniki so res izdredno dobri in prijazni. Najboljše je vzeti vstopnice za muzejsko pot

It was interesting to see the Ossuary under the St. Kancijan church, with the pavement directly above you. To get in, we first went to the Town Hall (not the Tourist Info Centre) round the corner and asked to view the Ossuary. I think we were charged €1-2 cash and the friendly attendant took us down the street and waited whilst we had a look. It's only small so we were in there for less than 10 minutes. The Town Hall also had a small gallery that we looked round first.

Very helpful service and a great tour of the old church ruins and ossuary beneath the museum. The church ruins are just rubble and foundation, but the ossuary was amazing to see. As of August 2023, tickets for the ossuary are 1.50 € for an adult ticket.
