The National Museum of Contemporary History is a state museum responsible for the movable and intangible cultural heritage of the 20th-century Slovene history. It houses fine art and documentation department, a photographic department containing more than a million original photographs, a conservation–restoration workshop, an administration department and a library.

In 2009 the Slovene Police donated about 30 pieces of weapons from the Second World War and from other violent skirmishes in Slovene history.
One of the most impressive collections is the comprehensive archive of the photo-reporter Edi Šelhaus (1919–2011) with 2,026 original b/w negatives from the Second World War and over 137,000 original b/w and colour photographs as well as slides and negatives, donated by the author (in 2000) and his main employee, the Delo Publishing House (in 2009).

In addition to turning points in history, such as wars and the foundation of the new state, the exhibition also attempts to illustrate everyday life in the historical development. Because of this exhibition, the museum was nominated for the European Museum of the Year Award in 1998.
