Slovenski gledališki inštitut - Gledališki muzej / Slovenian Theatre Institute - Theatre Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Mestni trg in the old town, our Theatre Museum is a real gem for anyone who's ever felt the magic of a live performance. It’s not just a collection of old playbills; it’s the living memory of Slovenian stagecraft, from dramatic monologues to puppet shows. You'll find yourself face-to-face with intricate set models and costumes that still seem to whisper with past applause. It feels more like stepping backstage than walking through a formal museum.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the delicate marionettes that once captivated entire towns and the personal notes scribbled in the margins by famous directors. The collection of original stage designs and posters, many from Slovenia's pivotal cultural moments, really tells the story.
Visitor Information
Pop in any day but Monday; it's surprisingly intimate and rarely crowded, so you can really take your time. The staff are wonderfully knowledgeable and love to share a story or two if you ask.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully preserved historic building that fits right in with Ljubljana's charming baroque and neoclassical streetscape, with creaky wooden floors that add to its character.
