Slovene Ethnographic Museum

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

Haphazardly organised, messily labelled, dimly lit and too hot. Subtracting a star for the ill-conceived exhibition on time. Adding a star for the exhibition on the Slovenian collector of Chinese artifacts

Overall disappointing. Some portions are interesting and creative. However, more than half of the exhibits have no signage in any language other than Slovenian. Much of the 3rd floor permanent exhibition is in near darkness which defeats the purpose of an exhibition. It’s also about 30 Celsius inside despite being 16C outside.

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.

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.

Really interesting museum but tricky to navigate. We followed their advice: started at the top and worked our way down. But when we followed the arrows on each floor, we seemed to be going against the flow of traffic and the order of exhibits didn’t make sense. Should have started on the lower floors, which had a lot more Slovene history and that’s what we wanted to learn more about. So if that’s your goal, don’t do what we did! Overall it’s a cool museum with tons of amazing artefacts. Well worth a visit.

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.
