National Gallery of Slovenia

great gallery with beautiful architecture and artworks. the staff was friendly and helpful, the restrooms were very clean and there’s a lot to see and to learn from the gallery. i loved the QR codes next some paintings or sculptures that led to the website of the National Gallery in which there was an audio/text that formally analysed the work, the history and meaning behind it.

Beautiful museum in the middle of the city. They have both permanent and temporary painting collections (tickets are sold separately at the ticket office, 8€ for adults). They have cafe inside the museum and it’s pretty cool.

The National Gallery of Slovenia offers a good collection of artworks, with a focus on Slovenian artists. A quiet and well-organized museum worth a visit if you enjoy art and history. ❤️

The National Gallery in Ljubljana is about a 15-minute walk from the Old Town, situated near Tivoli Park. Housed in a historic building with a modern interior, it offers a pleasant and accessible environment for visitors. The permanent exhibition showcases Slovenian art from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century, providing a clear and well-organized journey through the country’s artistic evolution. Information is available in both Slovenian and English, making it easy to navigate and understand. During our visit, we explored two temporary exhibitions: Baroque in Slovenia: Featuring over 170 artworks from the 17th and 18th centuries, this exhibition offers insight into the Baroque period’s influence on Slovenian art, highlighting the blend of Central European and Mediterranean artistic expressions. While the Baroque style isn‘t our favorite, the exhibition was well set-up. From Shadow into Light: The Sketchbooks of Ivana Kobilca: This exhibition delves into the sketchbooks of Ivana Kobilca, Slovenia’s most prominent female painter, providing a unique glimpse into her creative process and the development of her artworks. We really liked her work, and spent most of our time in this temporary exhibition. Tickets were purchased on-site without any issues. The gallery also includes a small shop and a café, perfect for a short break. We spent approximately 1.5 hours exploring the exhibitions, which felt sufficient to appreciate the collections without feeling rushed. Overall, the National Gallery is a recommended stop for those interested in art and its historical development in Slovenia.

Small, but interesting. The Baroque exhibition is monotonous, with too much religious themes, but this was characteristic of the era too

One of the most important art museums in Slovenia, the museum houses an extensive collection of Slovenian and European artworks from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. Founded in 1918, the gallery is located in a historic neoclassical building, later expanded with a modern glass façade. It is a must-visit for anyone seeking to understand Slovenian art history. The museum also holds the original Robba Fountain, one of Ljubljana’s iconic landmarks—now displayed in front of City Hall as a replica.

Well designed and gorgeous art museum in Ljubljana. The tickets for temporary and permanent exhibitions costs only 9 euro for students. There are toilets and also baggage storage cabinets. The temporary exhibition was fine but that many in quantities. However, the permanent exhibition was a huge thing here! They were displayed in a magnificent hall and include statutes and artworks. Especially, there is a room where you can sit and quietly watch the painting of a few cows with comfortable music, what an enjoyment! In the back side of the museum, where the cafe is, has a spacious location that is more modernized design and wow! Overall, recommend spending 1 to 2 hours here!
