NATIONAL MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY HISTORY The forerunner of the National Museum of Contemporary History, originally called the Museum of National Liberation, opened its first permanent exhibition in 1955 and expanded a decade later with a branch in Castle Rajhenburg. On the basis of its mission, the National Museum of Contemporary History collects, preserves, documents, studies and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage from the history of Slovene ethnic territory from the beginning of the 20th century onwards. In addition to permanent and occasional exhibitions, it provides a rich pedagogic program for children and young people. Organised groups are provided with guided tours led by a member of the professional staff. Public viewing is available for the interested public.

Cekin Mansion is located on the edge of Tivoli Park in Ljubljana. The Baroque manor house was built between 1752 and 1755 by Count Leopold Karl Lamberg. In 1787, it was given in gift to Ivana Lamberg, who was married to the riding master Lovrenc Szögeny. Ljubljana citizens Slovenized his surname and called Cekin Mansion after him. The mansion changed hands a number of times up to the mid-20th century. It was nationalised after the Second World War, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ljudska tehnika at first had premises in it, and in 1951 it became the home of the museum.

MGLC – INTERNATIONAL CENTRE OF GRAPHIC ARTS was founded by the City of Ljubljana in 1986. Today the institution holds an extensive collection of prints and artist's books, arranges exhibitions of contemporary art, issues publications, offers printmaking workshops and demonstrations for all generations, and organises numerous professional, popular and social events. New works of art are regularly created in the printmaking studios. The soul of the house is the Ljubljana Biennial of Graphic Arts, the 30th of which was held in 2013!
On the banks of the Ljubljanica river, away from the bustle of the city centre, surrounded by colourful, tranquil nature and the castle park, stands the only preserved Renaissance castle in Ljubljana. Stately and majestic yet warm and welcoming, it charms visitors and local residents on a daily basis. The castle was built in the 16th century by members of the Khisel family – rich merchants, humanists and art lovers. The rooms, with arcaded walkways, are ranged around a spacious courtyard that includes the remains of a fountain and a mighty lime tree. The Renaissance building, with its four defence towers, still boasts numerous well-preserved historical features and wall paintings. Today, its inhabitants and the story of its past are brought fully to life through guided tours by museum experts.

When you ascend the castle hill by funicular railway, you are confronted with a wide choice of cultural opportunities in the attractively renovated castle buildings. The most prominent is The Viewing Tower, the highest point in the city. However, the permanent exhibition of Slovenian History, the Penitentiary and the Virtual Castle are just as interesting. There are also tempting places to eat. All this and more can be found at the Ljubljana Castle, a city above the city.
Tivoli Mansion, which houses the International Centre of Graphic Arts, stands at the end of Jakopič Promenade in the heart of Tivoli Park and can be reached by pleasant footpaths. The turbulent history of the mansion began in the 13th century, but it was completely rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century and became a pleasant place of recreation for the citizenry. The mansion served various owners over the centuries and for various purposes; Field Marshal Radetzky was one of its residents. It came into the hands of Ljubljana City Council in the second half of the 19th century. At that time, a fountain was set up in front of the mansion, balustrades were arranged, the staircase was replaced and four bronze statues of tongueless dogs were erected. After the Second World War, it was occupied by tenants until its recent renovation. Photo: Matevž Paternoster

LJUBLJANA CASTLE
Ljubljana Castle, the crowning glory of the city, has helped shape the capital’s silhouette for more than five centuries. Archaeologists have confirmed uninterrupted human occupation of the hill on which it stands from the Late Bronze Age onwards. Over the course of its rich history the castle has undergone many transformations and has witnessed numerous events which have had a decisive impact on the development of Ljubljana and Slovenia. At the end of the 18th century the Habsburgs, then owners of the castle intended to abandon it but because of protests from the Carniolan Provincial Estates they fortunately did not demolish it. Ljubljana Castle enjoyed its brightest moment in 1905 when Ivan Hribar, the then Mayor of Ljubljana, bought it from the state on behalf of the city with the intention of transforming it into a cultural centre. This came to fruition splendidly at the turn of the millennium.
