This Merry Day of Culture once again welcomes visitors to free cultural and artistic events
Many cultural institutions across Slovenia commemorate the anniversary of the birth of the poet France Prešeren, who was born on 3 December 1800, by opening their doors wide and welcoming visitors to free cultural and artistic events.
The Ministry of Culture launched the Open Doors Day of Slovenian Culture, also known as This Merry Day of Culture, in 2000, the Year of Prešeren. Since then, cultural institutions have offered a varied free programme to visitors every year on this day.
The events, along with their detailed descriptions, are presented on a special website of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, and can be classified by region, age group, genre and other specific features. The wide range of cultural and artistic events is suitable for all age groups, including organised groups from educational institutions.
This year, some events will also take place on 2 December.
