The Kobarid Museum, Slovenia, developed from a museum collection which was set up by the locals in 1990. It first operated within the frame of the Tourist Society of Kobarid. Five years later, in agreement with the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, the founders transferred the management to a non-profit company of limited liability which still manages the Museum. In the year 2011 The Kobarid Museum, Slovenia, was put in the official register of Slovenian museums.
