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.

Odkrijmo umetnost, razkrijmo lepoto! Komunikacijska akcija podprta s priložnostno razstavo
25. 4. 2023–20. 8. 2023

Muzeji smo včasih nepričakovano deležni medijske pozornosti globalnih razsežnosti. In to ne nujno zaradi razstave, ki jo odpiramo. Včasih se delu javnosti naše zbirke ali to, kako jih interpretiramo, zdi kontroverzno in tako se znajdemo v središču zanimanja medijev in splošne javnosti.

Ancient walls for modern people
Ancient walls for modern people 10 years of adventures in the Archaeological Park Emona
6. 4. 2023–3. 9. 2023

The Emona Archaeological Park, with its 2000-year-old remains of the Roman colony of Emona, forms part of Ljubljana city centre. Development of the park began in the 1930s. During the most recent restoration work, 10 years ago, we decided to protect and revitalise the Emonan remains by creating an exciting programme and encouraging the public to visit. Today, where ancient walls once stood, we now create, learn and amuse ourselves.

A mysterious grave without a body Two Emonan burials in Argentina Park
8. 2. 2023–8. 10. 2023

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).

Kaj bi dekleta morala vedeti? Slovenske umetnice v obdobju 1850–1950
14. 11. 2023–25. 2. 2024

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.

The unusual life story of Dr Otmar Pirkmajer, the first rector of the UNRRA University “Free Europe”, which was founded in Munich in 1946 by the United Nations and where non-German refugees and other displaced persons taught and studied in the wake of the Second World War. The life of Dr Otmar Pirkmajer, lawyer, journalist, politician and a man who had survived the Dachau concentration camp twice, is the record of a remarkable and lesser-known personal story that unfolded during the ceaseless historical twists and turns of the 20th century
