The City Museum of Ljubljana is concerned with collection, preservation, documentation and research in connection with the lives of the city's inhabitants over several thousands of years. The museum has collected materials, documents and knowledge, and its exhibits and events represent a contemporary symbol of the self-confidence of the Slovene capital and its inhabitants. With its excellent access and detailed information, the City Museum of Ljubljana has become an indispensable source of knowledge of the past and contributes to the understanding of today's Ljubljana and Slovenia.
In recording, collecting, keeping, protecting, researching and presenting the Ljubljana past, the City Museum of Ljubljana has done its best to consider the new role of modern museums, which have become cultural hot spots and the promoters of identity in their local environments. It promotes and strengthens relations with the users through its programmes, as it wishes to realise their interests and wishes. With them, it creates a modern, open and visitor-friendly museum. With its collections, information, interpretations and programmes, the museum reveals the identity of the city, motivating people to reflect on it and reinforcing the city people's pride as well as the visitors' curiosity.
In the future the museum will conduct its regular activities but also work to develop expertise in the framework of its collections in order to achieve a goal: making sure it is as accessible and open to the broader public as possible. It will liven up the exhibitions and programmes with new research and presentations of little known interesting bits of the city's past. With its expert knowledge it will continue to help interested organisations and individuals to handle the off-museum cultural heritage more appropriately.
