Exhibitions
The exhibition of the photographic works of the IRWIN art collective will present, for the first time, more than 90 photographs by one of the most important internationally active Slovenian artist groups. The exhibition encompasses records of their artistic interventions, performances and temporary installations, as well as conceptually designed artworks in their own right, spanning four decades of production.
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.
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.
The exhibition in the museum Treasury is dedicated to presenting archaeological finds from the excavations at the new National and University Library (NUK II) site, conducted in 2024 and 2025 by the ZVKDS, Centre for Preventive Archaeology (CPA). On display will be several particularly interesting small finds, among which stands out a small bronze figurine of Priapus, the deity of fertility and the protector of livestock and gardens.

Get to know Ljubljana's past - see the chronological presentation of Ljubljana’s millennia of heritage with precious authentic artefacts, like the world's oldest wooden wheel with an axle!
The popular exclamation “Let’s go to the seaside!” promises a summer exhibition. The title may seem unusual for a museum in Ljubljana, but the exhibition presents its collection as a treasury of fragments illuminating the history of the idea of a summer holiday by the sea.
