The Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of the Republic of Slovenia (ZVKDS) was founded in 1999, with the new law on the protection of cultural heritage. The Institute is active in the areas of conservation and restoration. It brings together art historians, archaeologists, architects, ethnologists, sculptors, painters and many other experts, who work in the Institute's seven regional offices located across Slovenia and in the Restoration Centre. Its common goal is to preserve and protect the cultural heritage of Slovenia, and to raise the broader public’s interest in cultural heritage. Its mission is to achieve a balance of cultural monuments of the past with the existing natural and cultural environment and new architectural achievements.
The Institute has Regional Offices in Celje, Kranj, Ljubljana, Maribor, Nova Gorica, Novo Mesto and Piran and a Restoration Centre in Ljubljana.
