- mini_d51Sydney, Australia495 contributionsExcellent tour of the house with lots of information about its former owner. The guide we had was very informative. There are things you can see for free, but it was worth doing the tour.Written September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We still didn’t get round everything (partly because my son spent so long on his favourite experiments), so it was my son’s first choice to visit again the next day. Good information in English, and for every experiment there is more detail available in English via a QR code.

- JakeHavertown, PA426 contributionsBeautiful museum with a mix of art styles- religious and secular of various years. I enjoyed this museum. It was just a bit awkward how when you entered a room the staff follows you glaring.Written September 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- artanis65Washington DC, DC34 contributionsIt's fairly small and nothing fancy, but if you want to find out about the history of Slovenia, this is a must see. It effectively tells the story of the country from WW I when the Austro-Hungarian Empire broke up to the present day, including all of the important milestones along the way, including life under Tito's communism, and independence. There's a lot to read and a lot to think about. The employee sitting at the entrance to the main second door display was very helpful; I had questions about Slovenia and some of the information in the displays. The employee spoke excellent English and we had a detailed and friendly conversation about several aspects of Slovenia's history.
I was there on a Sunday afternoon, and it was uncrowded. It's also inexpensive; the ticket prices are reasonable, and even the drinks in the vending machine on the first floor were cheap. It's fairly close to the entrance of Tivoli Park.Written May 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

While the displays are modest compared to much larger countries, the facility certainly celebrates the rich European history of this region. It took about an hour to see all of the rooms of unearthed items ranging from ancient to relatively modern. The building also houses the Natural History Museum of Slovenia for an extra charge.
Artifacts giving evidence of human civilization within the boundaries of what became Slovenia date as far back as around 4500 BC, and many items were shockingly pristine considering they had existed for thousands of years. If you have kids, there are interactive displays they’ll enjoy as well.Written July 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Also exhibits of railway signalling, uniforms, track maintenance equipment. They also had a model railway which was running - great for the kids to see.

- Binx BollingLjubljana, Slovenia11 contributionsVisited with my family yesterday for the first time since my first visit as a child.
I forgot how cool this place is.
The museum is set in castle quarters, very detailed and very interesting, mixing natural and technical history of Slovenia.
I wish that the exhibits will be more interactive in the future, but this is really worth the visit.Written November 22, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Very well maintained, different topics, permanent and temporary exhibitions. Lots about nature generally, but also about Slovenia. Very colourful, perfect for a rainy day.Written February 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ANGELO VMilan, Italy4,689 contributionsThis 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.Written August 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We decided to visit the gallery on a very wet day, leaving our umbrellas in the cloakroom as we went to the stylish café for a light lunch. The toast and coffees were very good, so suitably refreshed we headed for the exhibition rooms. The story of 20th century modern art in Slovenia is outlined in considerable detail and includes a number of interesting videos, extracts from partisan publications from the anti-Nazi resistance in the 1940s, etc., etc. Many of the pictures and sculptures are very dark and heavy. The struggles by artists to depict and understand the struggles in Yugoslavia in the turbulence of the times (1889-1991) are not easy to absorb, indeed the overall impression is very sombre. But for modern art historians the gallery is probably a hit!Written September 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David NBrisbane, Australia1,953 contributionsWe spent some time here enjoying the experience of the history of puppetry in Slovenia.

- Tiberius B1 contributionUnderated museum in Slovenia. It was fantastic! The front desk guy was great, walked us through the museum and how to use it, bought us coffee. Everything was neatly presented and we learnt a lot about not only Slovenian banking but the history of banking. Very interactive, games to play and things to interact with for kids. Gabe us a gift at the end of it all. One of the most friendly and best places in Slovenia. Would recommend to go see. Can't wait for the new exhibition to open up stairs.Written October 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
