The excellent city museum, established in 1935, focuses on Ljubljana鈥檚 history, culture and politics via imaginative multimedia and interactive displays. The reconstructed street that once linked the eastern gates of the Roman colony of Emona (today鈥檚 Ljubljana) to the Ljubljanica River, and the collection of well-preserved classical artefacts in the basement treasury, are worth a visit in themselves. So too are the models of buildings that the celebrated architect Jo啪e Ple膷nik never got around to erecting.
