1495 days.

Ljubljana During World War II

24. 4. 2025–12. 4. 2026

The exhibition will highlight questions of personal choices, the violence of the occupiers, the organization of resistance in the city, and the everyday life of the inhabitants during the war.

In April, to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, the City Museum of Ljubljana will open an exhibition titled 1495 Days. Ljubljana During World War II (April 2025–April 2026). The exhibition will highlight questions of personal choices, the violence of the occupiers, the organization of resistance in the city, and the everyday life of the inhabitants during the war. The introduction will explain the circumstances of pre-war political, cultural, and economic life in Ljubljana, which later influenced the internal development of the Slovenian conflict, particularly through the networks operating in the city. On the level of everyday life, the narrative will be built on multiple levels—from individuals to families and the city as a community that found itself behind barbed wire. Both the exhibition and its accompanying programs will also address contemporary issues, reflecting on our relationship with peace and war, as well as the culture of nonviolence.
