If you are interested in the military history of this area (or even if you are not) this museum is a small gem. Doesn't require a lot of time but is well worth it.
Happened across this museum during fist to Kobarid and was very impressed by this extremely well interpreted collection of WW1 memorabilia and the other photos, maps, models, and more that tell the story of the fighting in the bean hill and mountains. It's really an amazing story told in a very modern two building complex. It really brought to life the many references to Kobarid in Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms". Absolute must see if you find yourself in this area of Slovenia.
An excellent small museum dedicated to the battles during 1915 - 1918. All information is in several languages and you get to see the war from all sides. I recommend visiting the museum before exploring the many other outdoor museums, monuments and cemeteries of the area as it will give you a context for the experiences of the soldiers during that terrible time.
This is a fantastic museum, beautifully set out. It has a very well laid out display with a plethora of artefacts and photographs relating to WW1. There is also a very informative film (in a variety of languages) which really helps to flesh out the history here. This was particularly interesting as we had just driven the Russian Pass (A real must) and this film referred to the building of this as well as the bloody atrocities that happened here. A very worthwhile visit.
A small museum which relates, for me, the unknown front in the human tragedy of WW1. There are many photographs and an impressive array of memorabilia, but the 20 minute documentary provided an excellent summary of this extended mountain war front.
Loved the way the museum was laid out. My husband was the one who was most keen to visit but I have to admit I really found it both moving and interesting. No complaints whatsoever.
This museum tells the story of the WW1 fighting on the Soci Front. There are some great photography in here. Very interesting to learn about something particular to this area
Being the centenary of the beginning of World War I we wanted to visit a sight connected to those events and with significance to Hungary. Kobarid/Caporetto/Karfreit was the scene of some the bloodiest battles between Italy and Austria-Hungary. The museum is perfect for families as it is not too big, and so younger folks won't get bored, yet still has lots on display. There are all sorts of WWI artifacts, uniforms, weapons, personal items. There is a short film available in many different languages the describes the battles that took place in the area. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in military history, or anyone interested. It is especially fascinating to learn of the lesser know battles, not fought in the trenches but on mountain tops and in valleys.
Parking and signage are a bit tricky but it is a great little museum. Upon arrival a staff person explained the museum layout and told us the English version of the film would start in a few minutes. I recommend the film. I can't remember the running time but I think it was about 20 minutes. Nice exhibits. A tour group with its guide was taking up one of the rooms upstairs so I could really enjoy that room as much.
The pieces of history collected in an old house really picture the time from 100 years ago, when there were bloody rivers and many innocent deaths.
