Museum contents

The Kobarid Museum is a museum about the common men who found themselves in the middle of the chaos of war. It is organised in such a way that you walk through themed rooms: Kobarid, Krn, White Room, Hinterland Room, Black Room... past the Caverns to the Room with the relief of the Upper Posočje Valley, the attack room and the multimedia room. The layout is transparent and systematic. The message is clear: Humanity learned nothing from the cruel war.
