The Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana hosted, in the past years, hundreds of various exhibitions, which were made in collaboration with many museum experts and curators with years of experience and knowledge. The playful exhibition Pile dwellers through the eyes of children, which is part of the Wheel, 5200 Years project, differs from this practice and is something completely new. It was not developed by curators, but rather by children. These young and eager to learn museum collaborators are participants of the unique six month project called »Little Museum«.The project enables curious children to come into contact with cultural heritage in an educative, active and relaxed manner, to learn the meaning of its preservation, gain new knowledge and build confidence as they are constantly independently included in the project's development.

Children also developed a creative competition to which they invited families, schools and kindergartens. Everyone rolled up their sleeves and, on the topic of the pile dwellers, created various pile-dwelling models and ingenious drawings and paintings with various scenes from a prehistoric pile dwelling. The received works are on view in the café of the City Museum of Ljubljana, on the exhibition titled Pile dwellers through the eyes of children from March 12 to April 20, 2014.

During the exhibition, children will also prepare interesting accompanying programmes, which will connect their show with the Wheel, 5200 Years exhibition; visitors will be able to take part of fun guided tours with family workshops or use an educative family guidebook written by the children themselves.
