Between the City and the Countryside 

The area of Murska Sobota was already inhabited in prehistoric times. Numerous medieval remains indicate that the beginnings of the city were formed along today's Slomškova ulica Street - the former main road (via regia) leading to the Church of St. Nicholas (1071). 

The exhibition illustrates historical journey with arceological finds and documents from the 14th century, in which Murska Sobota is first mentioned by this name, and with postcards of the town from 20th century, which show its development over time. The markets of Pomurje are complemented by a selection of postcards, photographs, and characteristic objects from individual Pomurje towns, illustrating their historical development and the everday life of their inhabitants.
