It's a very interesting museum about the history of Slovenia in the 20th century. With the permanent exhibition you can see how Slovenia went throughout the past century starting from Austro-Hungarian empire, following by the period of the kingdom of Yugoslavia, WW2 and German/Italian occupations, Tito's Yugoslavia and finishing with the most recent history of its independence. The displays are very informative and interesting to read. The exhibits displayed in the museum are very impressive and allow you better immerse into the time periods. Highly recommended if you are interested to learn about the history of Slovenia.

Incredibly well done. Lots of interactive material and just enough detail. The WW1 bunker was good and the exploration of the rise and fall of Yugoslavia is well presented. I was surprised to see the museum very quiet as I think anyone visiting Slovenia should visit.

Excellent museum! Everything is so well explained and set that we were so happy about it. The tickets are super cheap for what the museum is. It should be mentioned in every city guide. Historically, it starts with austro hungarian empire and it is until today. For me, knowing more about the history of this area was really worth it. I really recommend this place!

This was my favourite museum/gallery in the city, as so many had hinted at historic events but not really explained them and I was left not understanding the significance. After this visit I felt really well informed about the more recent history of Slovenia, with all my questions answered. The displays are arranged in chronological order, and are a mix of photos, text, video, sound, and interactive elements. There is a fair bit of reading, but it's all really interesting. I was surprised at how few visitors there were, as for me this was a highlight. However, I would caution that I think it would be inaccessible for younger (primary age) children. There's no air con, so although it's a respite from outside temperatures, it's still warm.

This is quite a fascinating museum if you have time to study, read, and contemplate. It is not a museum you can bustle through in 30 minutes. We spent a good two hours but we learned so much about what happened in Slovenia from War War I forward. The displays are written in English. There is seating throughout and the restroom is clean. We walked through Trivoli Park to arrive at the Palace where the museum is located. It was a fine way to cool off and wasn’t crowded. We also received Pensioner discounts. Recommend if you are interested in history. Not really a place small children would enjoy I’m my opinion. So be prepared to navigate stairs.

Excellent museum explaining recent Slovenian history. Detailed explanations written in English. While the audioguides were broken when we went, they do usually have audioguides. Nonetheless, there was sufficient English text to learn so much. Well done, highly recommend.

Excelent guided tour of fotographs of Titos last year of life..

I loved this museum! I am immensely impressed by their ability to present heavily-loaded content from important points in time in such a well-organized, brief but informative way. Definitely worth a visit.

Interesting exhibits, staff knows a lot, very interesting and amusing.

Good place to visit if you are internete in history, you will spend there long time most probably

I was thete for an event so i didn't see any of exhibitions. But the place itself is worth visiting due to it's own history.

Great museum with a good post WW2 historical era. It's a bit small but informative.

You can quickly learn about Slovenian contemporary history.

Small and simple museum that recaps Slovenia’s modern history and path to statehood. One of the few places open on a Sunday. Reasonably priced tickets but few significant artifacts within. Best visited to while away time in an air conditioned environment

Local history museum, was surprisingly empty on a sunday. 5 EUR admission, 3 for students.

Nice museum about the history of Slovenia from WWI until present days. Not too large, it took around 1 hour to see every room, but very clean and well organized. The entrance is free on the first Sunday of every month.

Ok. Needs a bit of repairment as some of the exibition was broken. Personel selling tickets is also not very well introduced to exibition. Overall interesting and educational.

Very cool museum. Learned a lot about Slovenian history. Just wish it was longer! Worth it since admission was so cheap.

It's a fascinating museum showing Slovenia's contemporary history (20. and 21. century). Worth visiting, it's a great history lecture.

Good museum about Slovenia's recent history. It's quite complicated stuff, and it could perhaps do a better job of simplifying it, but it's a really interesting way to spend an hour or two in Ljubljana.

Compact but extensive journey through Slovenia's history since 1914, in Slovenian and English. Very quiet on the day, so excellent access to the exhibits and explanations. The museum is located in the Tivoli Park, where many key events themselves took place, adding a layer of poignancy

Interesting overview of 20th century history

It was good experience ,exhibits are in english and very well showed. If you know about Slovenian history, you must visit :)

Really informative and interesting. Considerably cheap, but no AC. Still worth the time and money. Very objective. Highly recomend WW 2 section as it offers many objects and real stories.

The heart of greenery in Ljubljana city! Nice cafe around to enjoy and relax.

This museum used to be a museum with strong political impact. In the recent years it lost a bit of this historical patina, but influence of the past regime is still in the air. Museum is interesting and worth visiting particularly for foreigners interested in socialism. I like the car in front of the museum.

Good to find out about socialist era. Could have been improved with having less panels/displays to read and more modern interactive exhibits. Plus some critical analysis of what led to the anti communist protests as Slovenia seemed very well organised with good supplies compared to other Eastern block countries. So not clear about why people protested.
