Hi guys,
Ljubljana is a cool city, there’s a lot to see and discover.
Though the city center is kind of small, there are more than 15 museums in Ljubljana.
Today, I’d like to show you some of the good museums that I liked.
This museum is located next to the Tivoli Park and the Museum of Modern Art.
Inside the museum, you’ll find Slovenia’s largest collection of fine art from the middle ages to the 20th century.
I also like this museum because of its architecture which is both classic and very modern.
The main building was built in 1896 and an extension to that building was built in the 1990s.
A large transparent glass gallery was built in 2001 to connect the 2 buildings.
For that museum, I recommend spending 2 hours inside to see most of it.
This museum is also located next to the Tivoli Park and just 70m away from the National Gallery.
Very good museum if you like modern art. Great architecture and good light inside the building.
For this museum, I recommend spending at least 1 hour to see most of it.
There is also an excellent Café called Kavarna Museum inside the museum.
You can go there after visiting the museums and have a drink.
You can either have a drink inside or outside, at the terrace which is in front of the museum.
3/ Slovenian Ethnographic Museum:
In this museum, you’ll find a large collections of artefacts related to Slovenian and non-European material, social and spiritual culture.
I went there in August 2018 and I was not expecting much of it. But after visiting the museum, I was absolutly delighted.
Excellent museum with a cool and modern design.
You’ll get to learn of lot about cultures and civilisations of all over the world.
The museum also showcase temporary exhibitions.
I saw an excellent temporary exhibition on beekeeping called “Where bees ate at home”.
This expo can be seen untill the 14th of June 2019.
For that museum, I recommend spending at least 2 hours inside.
As a bonus, there is an excellent café/restaurant called Kavarna SEM attached to the museum.
Go there and have something to eat/drink inside or outside.
On a sunny day, having a drink outside the café among locals is MUST.
4/ MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART METELKOVA:
This museums displays selected works of contemporary art from western and eastern European artist.
The museum is located next to the Slovenian Ethnographic Museum and right next to Metelkova.
It opened in 2011 and its architecture is very modern both inside and outside.
I did not like everything that was inside but some arts where very interresting.
I recommend spending at least 1 hour to see most of it.
There’s also a little Café on the ground floor with a little terrace.
Have a drink there and look at cool locals and tourists passing by on the esplanade.
bye bye !
