Slovene Ethnographic Museum

Musée ethnographique de Slovénie

The Slovene Ethnographic Museum is a museum “about and for the people” – it is a museum of cultural identities, a link between the past and the present, between our own culture and foreign cultures, between nature and civilization. It is the central ethnological museum housing both Slovenian and foreign European collections. All collections are carefully preserved, examined, studied and exhibited by the Museum’s professional staff.

By means of its annual cycle of exhibitions and other events, and by means of its rich educational programmes and diverse publications, the Museum presents knowledge of traditional culture in Slovenia and of cultures from other parts of the world; of the material heritage of both everyday and festive ways of life, and of the more elusive heritage of insight, values, skills, wisdom and creativity in the Slovenian ethnic region, in the diaspora and elsewhere.

The Museum houses numerous collections, the central ethnological archive and photoarchive, a videotheque, an ethnographic film collection and a phonoteque. Its professional library is open to public.
