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.
