About This Museum
Visitors flock to the Ljubljana City Museum not just to escape the rain, but to peel back the layers of the city's captivating history, all housed within a beautifully preserved palace. You'll find yourself wandering through rooms that tell a story spanning from Roman times to the modern era, with each artifact feeling like a direct message from the past.
