Museum Collection 1914 - 1917

The collection 1914−1917 of Zoran Šuligoj is exhibited at the railway station in Kanal, one of the stations along the Bohinj railway line (Transalpina), which was built between 1900 and 1906 and is part of the 717-kilometre-long Prague–Jesenice– Gorizia–Trieste railway. The collection contains mostly items from World War I or more precisely the Isonzo Front, which left a permanent mark on the places along the Soča River during the years of 1915 and 1917 (weapons, personal military objects, military medical instruments, photographs and postcards) and archaeological findings. Among some of the most interesting items are: inkwell in the shape of a grenade, bottle “pokalica” (cracker), letter opener made from a copper grenade ring, identification box and a very rare cast iron hand grenade.

The collection can be seen upon prior notice.
