The results of current archaeological research exhibited at the museum's treasury.

We are continuing our series of exhibitions and publications dedicated to the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana’s art collection from the 20th and 21st century.

In July and August 2022, during renovation of the hot water supply system in Argentina Park, archaeological research was carried out in the area between Štefanova ulica and Puharjeva ulica. The excavations uncovered part of Roman Emona’s northern cemetery. At one time, this would have extended along the road leading to Celeia (today’s Celje).

V zapuščini Otona Župančiča je večje število risb, ki so bile kot drobci razstavljene v Knjižnici Otona Župančiča na stalni postavitvi.

Veste, kje v centru Ljubljane vsak dan naletimo na ostanke nekdanjega rimskega mesta?

Ivan Cankar, a Slovenian author, playwright and essayist born in 1876 in Vrhnika, spent a few years of his life in Ljubljana. Having returned from Vienna to Ljubljana, he established himself on Rožnik Hill which today forms part of the Tivoli, Rožnik and Šišenski hrib landscape park.

A special place in Ljubljana's history is reserved for Roman Emona, the traces of which have been preserved in the very centre of the city.

Welcome to a trail tracing the 2000-year-old heritage of Emona. A walk through modern Ljubljana can take you further than you think! It takes you to the time of Emona, a city brimming with life between the first century and early sixth century. 

Dejstvo je, da so ženske ustvarjale skozi vso zgodovino likovne umetnosti. A je bilo njihovo delo zaradi poenostavljanja in izčiščevanja, ki ju zahteva umetnostna kronologija, ves čas prepuščeno pozabi. Poveličevanje posameznikov in ustvarjanje mitov je v zgodovinopisju dovoljevalo le vpis posameznic, kot je v slovenskem primeru denimo Ivana Kobilca.

Razstava je plod sodelovanja konservatorske službe MGML, ALUO, Oddelka za restavratorstvo, Restavratorskega centra ZVKDS in drugih številnih zunanjih sodelavcev.
