During the renovation of the Slovenska Street in the spring of 2015, archaeologists came across an incredible discovery of an almost 2000 years old Roman grave. The anthropological analysis of the bones and numerous grave goods, preserved under the stone lid for almost two millennia, point towards the fact that this was a grave of a female doctor, a surgeon, from the colony of Emona in the second half of the 1st century AD.

For the Slovenian Cultural Holiday, 8 February, we are opening a new show connected with the exhibition WATER that will present engineering achievements of Roman Emona. The exhibition will display a Roman stone altar, which was found during archaeological excavations at the Slovenska Street. The exhibition, hosted by the City Museum of Ljubljana, ends on 8 May 2016.

We exist on a water planet.70% of its surface is covered by water and  97% of it is salt water, 2% is fresh water in the form of ice and only  the remaining 1% is drinking water, which is divided around the planet  very irregularly. The Slovenian capital with its hinterland can boast  rich water resources that enabled 5,000 years of continuous habitation  and are still freely accessible today.

On Thursday, 2 April, at 5.00 pm we opened the exhibition of puppets created by preschoolers, school pupils and families for the Little Museum competition. Every received work showed plenty of imagination and interest in how the citizens of Emona lived.The exhibition will be on display until 14 June 2015.

With the Emona: a City of the Empire exhibition, the City Museum of Ljubljana is joining the citywide celebration of the 2000th anniversary of Emona, the first urban settlement in the area of today's Ljubljana. Enter the world of remarkable Roman achievements and Emona’s echoes in the 20th century.

Josef Koudelka, one of the world’s most acknowledged masters of photography, a member of Magnum Photos and the winner of prestigious photography prizes, who has to date shown his work in major centres of photography and contemporary art around the world, is presented in Slovenia for the first time at the Jakopič Gallery.
