The exhibition is part of the major inter-institutional project Baroque in Slovenia and presents frescoes by the painter Josef Mayr, which were taken down from the ruins of the Križ Manor near Komenda in 1947. The installation takes the visitor into a recreated image of the salon, known in later literature as the billiard room, which was decorated with Mayr's frescoes.
An exhibition of archaeological findings discovered during the construction of the multifunctional Emonika complex not only unveils the past but also establishes an important connection between the city's history and its future. Just as ancient Emona was a significant urban centre, Emonika in modern Ljubljana will represent a new crossroad of life, culture and innovation.

The exhibition commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and presents key events that shaped Ljubljana during the occupation. It focuses on personal choices, the occupier's violence, organised resistance and the everyday life of the inhabitants under wartime conditions. Through the stories of individuals and communities, it shows the dilemmas they faced in the most difficult times, while also encouraging reflection on our attitude towards peace, war and the culture of non-violence, and raising many questions that remain relevant today.

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.
