The Doblar Museum is being
inaugurated in Slovenia. It is designed as a crossroads of
various worlds—industrial heritage, the natural beauty of the
river Isonzo/Soča, and contemporary themes. This initiative, led
by the Isonzo Hydroelectric Plants of Nova Gorica (Seng) and
Go!2025, takes place at the oldest still-operational
hydroelectric plant on the Isonzo.
The museum's exhibition traces the development of
hydroelectric power in the Posočje region and aims to raise
younger generations' awareness of the importance of renewable
energy sources and responsible environmental management.
The museum adopts a multifaceted approach. As curator Kaja
Širok explains, "The exhibition chronologically retraces the
first mentions of power plants and other industrial facilities
along the Isonzo, with a particular focus on the creation of the
Doblar hydroelectric plant, which was symbolically inaugurated
in 1938 and began operations a year later. The exhibit
highlights the significance and flow of the Isonzo River while
emphasizing the sustainable use of energy resources through an
educational approach."
The project includes original archives and models from Seng,
archival materials from Pang, the Museum of Gorizia, the Iuav
Archive in Venice, the Bonfanti Collection, and photographs from
the private collection of the Mignozzi family.
Mija Lorbek, director of GO!2025, said, "The immense cultural
and tourism potential of our borderless region, with its
stunning nature and rich history, could not be better
encapsulated in a single project. The Doblar Museum -
Isonzo/Soča, Source of Energy brings together technical heritage
and the extraordinary natural beauty of the Isonzo/Soča Valley,
offering visitors of all ages and interests a space for
discovery."
