Permanent exhibitions

Perhaps the most attractive of these is the Virtual Museum – Ljubljana Squares through the Ages, prepared by the City Museum of Ljubljana and sponsored by the Tobacco Factory, which presents the history of Ljubljana. In this exhibition the urban and architectural development of the city is presented alongside its cultural and economic growth to afford an impression of the life of its inhabitants.

Another important permanent exhibition is entitled Settlement of the Ljubljana Basin – the Urban Development of Ljubljana; it explains how the area was settled and enlightens the development of the settlement itself from prehistory to the present using drawings, ground plans, projects, photographs, prints and models, and provides a brief survey of the historical periods of Ljubljana.
