Ethnographic museum reopens

On 2 December, the Slovene Ethnographic Museum (SEM) at the Metelkova Mesto complex in Ljubljana reopened after more than two years of extensive rennovations. The museum's permanent exhibit of Slovene folk culture is not quite ready, but in the meantime SEM is featuring several temporary exhibits.

The current exhibits are: “European Ethnographic Museums at SEM”, an overview of the collections of 14 ethnographic museums across Europe; “Is Ethnology Also at Home in Other Slovene Museums?”, which showcases the ethnographic holdings of 23 other Slovene museums; and “Exchanging Glances: Between Design and Slovene Folk Culture,” which features contemporary design objects coupled with the folk objects upon which they are based.

The museum is open every day from 10.00 until 18.00, but is closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day [UVI / 02.12.04 / Slovene Ethnographic Museum to open this evening and ST / 12.04 / Slovenian Ethnographic Museum: Taking nothing for granted].
