Obviously not one of the great museums of the world, but is on a "human" scale without the danger of "museum fatigue". It covers from the prehistoric (including the world's oldest wheel) right up to the present and is very much based around social history; the life and times of the people who have lived here. You can even touch the exhibits including sitting in the Zastava 750. There is also "hands on" stuff for kids, but low key, educational and not trying to be some sort of video game substitute.

This museum was established in 1935. It's a small museum, with rooms dedicated to the history of Ljubljana through the ages: - Prehistory in the marshes of Ljubljana - Antiquity and flourishing of the Roman citu of Emona - Middle Ages - Modern history - 20th century When I visited (July 2024) there was also a temporary exhibition dedicated to the history of fashion: it was very well organized, even if this subject does not fall within my interests.

I really enjoyed this museum. There was a great exhibition on the second floor and it even allowed you to touch and use some items too. On the first floor they had a really interesting Roman exhibition also. There was so much to take in here and its the perfect choice when choosing a museum to understand the history of Slovenia.
