ADULT EDUCATION

SENIORS DESERVE OUR ATTENTION

‘Old Age Deserves Our Attention’ is a programme run by the Maribor Regional Museum, aimed at elderly residents of care homes who are unable to visit the museum’s collections or attend the accompanying events held there. The programme is based on lectures and small, temporary exhibitions that tour the care homes. As part of the programme, we present the museum and the castle, individual collections and artefacts, and the work of curators, conservators and restorers.
