kobarid museum (kobariski muzej)

The Museum the battle of Caporeto is one of the best war museum I have ever seen. The collections are interesting, guides profesionals and price is reasonable.

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.

Budget maybe 60 to 90 minutes depending upon your interest of the subject and your kids' attention spans. Graphic enough to show this inanity of this horrific conflict and the personal sacrifice on all sides. Most of the info is in English and the 10 minute movie (which rotates languages) is a wonderful painting of the big picture.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not a big museum fan but this was well worth a visit. There was an excellent exhibition of photographs relating to WW1 pilots - a sort of 'behind the scenes' look.

We first visited the Soca Front museum in 1995, and were very impressed with scope and layout then. On our return visit in June this year, we were impressed by the new elements added - e.g. the 20 minute video presentation, the Austro-Hungarian air force exhibition. We visited on the 23rd anniversary of the attack of the Yugoslav Army on Slovenia and close to the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Princess Sophie. The Mueum, situated on the "Way of Peace" is a potent reminder of the futility of way and the disturbing danger of armed pacts and global military alliances.

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.

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.

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

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.

Certainly the best museum I have ever been to. Tells all the story from a human perspective. The staff is very friendly and helpfull.
