Solkan Carpentry MuseumThe museum displays furniture pieces made by local Solkan area carpenters. It bears witness to the material culture that emerged from a once highly sophisticated trade pursued in this area. A highlight of the display is the upholstered office furniture made for Josip Broz - Tito in the 1950s and commissioned by the government. There is a room with interactive multimedia contents designed to help the younger crowd in particular learn more about carpentry. The exhibition is a joint effort of the Carving, Inlaying and Restoration Society Solkan, and the Regional Museum Goriški Muzej.
