Had a quick look
It's worth a visit. I had little time but I would recommend spending time here. You will learn a lot and the ceilings are stunning.

World class? Maybe not but DEFINITELY more than worth the visit!
We stopped here on our way from Zagreb to Ljubljana and were VERY glad we did. This is about as low-key of a museum as you can get - I think if we had asked her to, the woman who sold us the tickets at the entrance would have happily taken us around as a personal guide! For a regional museum, they have a phenomenal collection of art and history going from the Iron Age through the Romans, and 19th century regional displays. For me, personally, though, my favorite was the displays on the region during World War II. In the States, most of what is taught about the War revolves around British, Russian, and American perspectives with European theatres like Norway and Yugoslavia as more of an afterthought. For instance, with as much history as I have been exposed to, I genuinely had no idea about the thousands of Slovenians who had been uprooted and relocated to German work camps. Quite fascinating! Oh! And the Knights Hall quite literally takes your breath away! One other great aspect of the museum is that there was ample postings in English, so if you don't speak Slovenian, you were never at a loss as to what was being discussed. As this was our very first stop on our visit to Slovenia, it really was a neat introduction.
