Ivan Cankar - Exhibition at the City Museum of Ljubljana
We all know Ivan Cankar. But do we really? How much do we actually know about his life circumstances? Fortunately, Cankar’s extensive literary output bears permanent traces of how the author lived. A well-chosen selection of the writer’s quotes gives an insight into his life’s journey from Vrhnika, through Ljubljana, Vienna and Trieste to Ljubljana’s Rožnik Hill. Providing the spectators with a virtually first-hand account.

On Monday 18 June, two separate exhibitions on Ivan Cankar opened at different venues, one mainly literary, the other biographical. This relates nicely to the “urban legend” on Ivan Cankar and two carriages.
