If you’re more into the past, then maybe the Slovene Ethnographic Museum is more up your street.

Liked this museum. Detailed explanations were in English. Especially enjoyed the many perspectives of 'time' in that exhibit. The personal collection of furniture, artifacts and everyday items from the family who spent time in China and Japan was also interesting. All exhibits are worthwhile. Enjoyed lunch outside in the museum cafe afterwards - prices reasonable. There is so much to see, it's tiring. I recommend seeing a couple of floors, then going to the cafe for a bit of rest and recharge, then finishing up. Senior pricing is available

A museum with exhibitions about various aspects of people's lives, mostly in the past. You can find out a lot about the Slovenian traditions. It has decent descriptions but no interactive elements (the one thing we saw didn't work). They also have sections on traditional cultures from other continents. The exhibition Man and Time is the most interesting in my opinion. There was also a temporary exhibition about an interesting life of a japanese woman in Slovenia in the first half of 20th century.

Nice artifacts, but better if there are more details to the exhibits

I had a lovely couple of hours browsing through this museum. Starting at the top level, you work your way down a number of exhibitions and artefacts on display with through provoking reflections to ponder on this journey. I notice the Australian population figures are about 10 million people less than they currently are but I was happy that AUS even had a place in this museum. I learned a lot about Slovenian history, culture and ways of living. There’s also a spectacular display of Chinese and Japanese artefacts on the bottom floor with a rich history behind its precious owners

Very nice and quiet museum. Located near the contemporary art museum, is located inside a three story building. Starting from the top floor which is reachable through a very cool window elevator, there is the true ethnographic museum with the permanent exhibition with a very well cared space for kids. On the second floor she I visited there was a special exposition for the 100 years of the museum. And finally on the first floor a series of exhibition that changes over time. The prices are surprisingly cheap, 6 euros the regular ticket and 3 with the student discount. Overall the thing that I liked the most was the peace inside the museum probably because on a rainy Sunday people were doing other things and I only met three other visitors in my entire stay in the building.

Cool air and elevator. Lots of old things. More of international history of Africa, Maya indian, Amazon than Slovenian history. There is own place for children. I prefer to see more from Slovenia as tourist point of view. So maybe change a bit the always staying exhibition would be good ☺️ The exhibition area looks nice, made by interior designer. When i visited museum very few visitors. Entrance fee 3€ as a student.

Very cool, very nice, very interesting! I loved all exhibits about Slovene culture, particularly the paintings illustrate that soooo well.

One of the most thought-provoking museums I’ve ever been to. The curation is excellent and the interpretive signage has been written by a deep-thinking ethnographer/anthropologist. Clearly an intellectual with excellent philosophical interpretations.
