This beautifully presented exhibition takes visitors on a whirlwind tour of Slovenia's long and fascinating history, from prehistoric times through independence and the present day. The exhibition is divided into six historical time periods: prehistory and the Romans, the Middle and early Modern Ages, the 19th century and WWI, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and WWII, Yugoslavia and finally independence and beyond. Located across three floors within Ljubljana Castle, the exhibition showcases original items, replicas, interactive content and various fun and informative multimedia presentations. It's a must-see for tourists and another reason for locals to pay the castle a visit if they haven't been in a while.

Admission €4-8 for adults, €2-5 for children and €10-14 for families when combined with other sites at the castle.
