Exhibitions
The exhibition, which marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, presents the key events that took place in Ljubljana during the occupation. It highlights the everyday lives of residents during the war, their personal choices, the violence of the occupiers, and the organized resistance. Through individual stories, it reveals the difficult dilemmas people faced in the most challenging times and encourages visitors to reflect on peace, war, and the culture of nonviolence – themes that remain relevant to this day.
The exhibition of posters designed by students of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering at the University of Ljubljana offers an insight into diverse interpretations of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and is connected, both in content and in form, with the exhibition1495 Days Ljubljana During World War II. The graphic statements, created during the academic years 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 as part of the course Visual Analysis of Graphic Products 2, build a bridge between the past and the present, with a view to a free future.
