At Kromberk Castle, in the first-floor foyer, you can visit the temporary exhibition "preVETRItev/interVENTI in castello," curated by Katarina Brešan and Massimo Premuda. The exhibition displays selected projects by Miela Reina and her Trieste colleagues, placed in dialogue with works by Vasja Žbona, from the art collection of the Regional Museum Goriški muzej, along with three contemporary artists.

On the first floor of Kromberk Castle, a new room was opened to the public in June 2024, exhibiting a collection of Biedermeier furniture pieces. The room was brought to life through cross-border collaboration with the Palazzo Coronini Cronberg Fundation from Gorizia who has lent the restored furniture pieces to the Regional Museum Goriški muzej.

Exhibition "GO S50-60: City and Residents in the 1950s and 1960s" is based on a photographic collection held by the Ethnology Department of The Regional Museum Goriški muzej. The main source is the archive of the Photo Studio Pavšič Zavadlav, supplemented by the photographs of Mirko Ličen - Prepih and photographs contributed by the city's residents as part of the initiative "Building the City", which we carried out in 2016 in the »France Bevk Public Library« in collaboration with the Provincial Archives of Nova Gorica.

The exhibition is part of the project Marcello Mascherini, a sculptor among poets and writers of the twentieth century, promoted by the Archivio Marcello Mascherini in partnership with the Goriški muzej.

The exhibition is dedicated to the sculptor Marcello Mascherini (Udine, 1906–Padua, 1983), 40 years after his death, with a corpus of bronzes, sketches and etchings, but also photographs, original documentation and his work tools.

Duplex veritas is an art installation which changes and builds upon in time. Elements of the exhibition are put in a straight line which with time is breaking down, it is blurring. The exhibition is a reflection and a parody on the historical border line, that was drawn on a map with a ruler by Churchill and his associates, after the II. World War. The project plays with border’s function and its representation.

The archaeological remains from researched settlements reveal what a late prehistoric home was like, what the interiors of houses looked like, and which activities were practised in them. There are many known settlements from the Early Iron Age (9th-4th century BC) in the vast area shaped by the flow of the Soča River and its tributaries, but most of them are poorly researched. One exception is the settlement in Most na Soči, where more than 30 houses have been discovered.

At the Goriški muzej we are presenting the donation of works by the sculptor Vasilij Žbona, a native of Miren, who spent most of his life in Paris, where he moved at a young age, in the sixties of the twentieth century, driven by a strong desire for change and to become part of the artistic world. The French capital attracted him as a great dynamic, multicultural and artistic urban center, which experienced a renaissance after the Second World War and which became, in the late sixties, the scene of great social changes.

A retrospective exhibition on painter Rajko Apollonio is on display at Dobrovo Castle. “For Rajko Apollonio, painting is the personal and adventurous exploration of the dreary and mysterious sphere of spirituality, in which the history of one’s inner experience borders on the mysterious meaning of a looming symbolic vision of existence” writes Sergio R. Molesi.
