Slovenian cultural holiday in the Kamnik’s Museum

On February 8, we celebrate the holiday of Slovenian culture and the memory of the Slovenian poet France Prešeren, who died on this day in 1849. This Day has been a holiday since 1945, and the state of Slovenia has also preserved it and declared it a public holiday in 1991, which is, of course, primarily intended for culture.
