130 years of the Aljaž tower: Symbol or Trophy?

The exhibition “Aljaž Tower – Symbol or Trophy” explores the historical, cultural, and symbolic significance of the Aljaž Tower and its transformation over time – from Jakob Aljaž’s patriotic gesture of resistance to a contemporary symbol of national identity. It offers insight into the many ways individuals and communities have experienced Triglav and its tower over the decades – as a destination, a stage, a symbol of defiance, and a backdrop for personal and collective stories. Through rich visual material, object narratives, and numerous anecdotes, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect: Do we still perceive the Aljaž Tower as a symbol of community – or as a personal trophy?

At the Slovenian Alpine Museum, we are opening this immersive exhibition to mark the anniversary – an experience shaped by sound, mist, and stories that will surely captivate you.

Join us for the opening on Saturday, 30 August, at 4 PM.
The event is free, but registration is required at: info@planinskimuzej.si.
