The former mortuary of the Rencjas has been turned into a museum of alexandrin

A museum dedicated to 'aleksandrinke'—women who worked as domestic servants and nurses in Egypt—has opened in Renče, Slovenia. The museum is located in a former mortuary building and aims to honor the legacy of these women, many of whom emigrated from the Goriska region in the late 19th century due to increased European business activity in Egypt following the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. These women often worked as cooks, maids, nannies, governesses, and seamstresses for wealthy European families.
