The Museum of Post and Telecommunications at Polhov Gradec Mansion, managed by the Technical Museum of Slovenia, rents two equipped halls and outdoor areas for meetings, lectures, gatherings and receptions. The Coach House takes up to 50 people, the Nikola Tesla Hall takes up to 120 visitors or 80 seated, and the courtyards and museum park suit more than 500 people.
Seminars and company events
Both halls have a projector, and technical equipment can be added to the hire. The mansion rooms are intended for cultural and other events, meetings, gatherings, lectures and concerts, and use requires prior written arrangement with the museum, which keeps a record of availability. Cultural events have priority, so company dates should be booked early. Activities can be added to a hire: demonstrations of Nikola Tesla experiments, of Vega pulleys, winches and gear transmissions, a bread baking demonstration with tasting, a guided museum tour in a foreign language, and driving a Benz car from the 1930s.
Weddings and receptions
The pages read do not offer weddings. The courtyards and the museum park are available for receptions and outdoor gatherings.
Rooms and capacities
The Coach House covers 90 square meters, is equipped with a projector and suits up to 50 people. The Nikola Tesla Hall covers 120 square meters, has a projector and suits up to 120 visitors or 80 seats. The courtyards and museum park accommodate more than 500 people. Parking is available in front of the museum.
Catering
The hire page does not describe catering. Ask the museum whether outside caterers may be used in the halls and the park.
History and setting
Polhov Gradec Mansion is a protected cultural monument. The museum shows the history of post and telecommunications, and the hire offer ties in with the museum visit: the entrance fee is charged by the number of participants, and events outside opening hours carry a supplement. The museum shows a collection of equipment from the history of communications, which makes the visit itself a natural first part of a group event, before a talk in the Nikola Tesla Hall or a drinks gathering in the courtyard. A person on duty and technical equipment are charged separately, and the mansion team confirms what is needed once the date, the group size and the format are known.
Getting there
The mansion is at Polhov Gradec, in the hills west of Ljubljana. For reservations write to programi@tms.si or call 01 750 66 72.
