Exhibitions
The panel exhibition in the outdoor atrium of the City Museum of Ljubljana presents the MGML Archaeological Centre, where archaeological finds begin a new life after excavations are completed. It reveals the heart of the work that usually remains hidden from public view — from cleaning, documenting and studying objects to their long-term preservation and archiving. The exhibition presents the people, processes and spaces that make it possible to understand the past and preserve archaeological heritage for the future.
The exhibition at the Treasury of the City Museum of Ljubljana offers a glimpse into the history of archaeological research in the area of Ljubljana Castle and highlights a selection of finds from the latest phase of excavations, which have been underway on the castle bastion since December 2025 and mark the conclusion of more than 60 years of research at this site.
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.
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.

Can a mother also be an artist? How important can sculpture be to her when war breaks out or in a post-war period with all its uncertainties? Everyone’s life reflects the era in which they live and the events that take place in it, and this is particularly true of the sculptor Liza Hribar, about whom we have long remained silent.
