    This was a disappointment for us. Instead of learning interesting insights about Slovenian history we were offered two floors of “deposits” of various historical objects which seemed to us being without any concept. Compared to he Etnograohical museum close to it, this was a very oldschool museum. No story which would meaningfully interconnect the individual rooms, not even the objects in one room. It looked to us as a physical list of kind of random items from various historical periods. Labels were many times illogically presented far from objects, also without numbers to be easily linked. On top of it, we realized first after going through the whole building that the exhibition which was promoted on a flag in front of the building (and was the main trigger for our visit) was already more than a month over. Also, watch out as they have two buildings of this museum on different locations which we didn’t very well understand from their website so we missed other interesting exhibitions promoted on the web as this was not very well communicated there. The only positive experience we had with a lady at the box office who felt sorry for us and found a catalog of pictures from the exhibition we wanted to see but was over. Thank you for that☺️

    Although this museum is not big I recommend visiting. There are small but excellent collection of medieval arms and armor, good collection of furniture and artifacts mostly of XVII - XIX centuries. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light and tripod.

    A seemingly random collection of rooms and objects, with little explanation. Included in the City Pass, but I definitely wouldn't want to pay for individual entry.

    The exhibits are good, but... The weapons and armor are without explanation and all amassed in a corner. I can't understand why, there are loads of BEAUTIFUL and interesting exemplars, like the air compressed guns and the cold war era material. Seems like a "yeah, we have to have a military corner, but let's not highlight it too much, Look! Shiny pottery!".

    Nice museum with interesting exhibits. Not too big, we saw all the rooms in about 40 minutes. It's clean and well maintained. The entrance is free in the first Sunday of every month.

    Save your money! The museum definetely does not worth 8 EUR. You have two floors with six rooms, where located different stuff: furniture, paintings, ceramics, toys and so on. If you already were in such a museum, you won't see something. But there was one room with a collection of weapons, which was not bad.

    Well, the staff was really nice, but for a national museum, this place is below the average. The permanent exhibition is poorly-lit, dull, with little text in English, and some objects are not marked at all. It also was super cold in exhibition rooms, which made my visit quite uncomfortable. The collection is nothing special, I mean, really nothing, so you definitely won't lose anything if you don't visit this place.

    Majhni muzej, majhne države. Small museum of a small country. But nice. I like it. It talles you a lot about the history of this nation.

    Really there is nothing here. Some ceramics, furniture, and there are also some relics with no label for objects. I really don’t know why anyone on a tight schedule would come here. It’s a history museum but not talking about history.
