Ana's Mansion

Eastern Slovenia


This ambitious, though rather odd, museum is divided into several distinct sections including a water-based art installation, a collection of tree bark, a small exhibit on Rogaška's important glass-making industry (with little in the way of explanation), a collection of lovely engravings of Rogaşka Slatina, donated to the town by Swiss collector Kurt Müller, and a rather eccentric exhibit of letters and memorabilia from the Yugoslav kingdom plus autographs of the great, good and infamous, all amassed by one man.
