The Castles of Slovenia

After the very successful Dragons’ exhibition at the Ljubljana Castle, Slovenia, Sanja Jurca Avci has been commissioned to design the new temporary exhibition in the same space.

The topic of this year’s temporary exhibition is The Castles of Slovenia. The long and very narrow exhibition space will offer the visitor an interesting view from the very entry into the space: the symbols of the five chosen castles, that will be presented in detail, will appear at the high level and be visible from any point of the exhibition space. The stories of these five castles will appear in specially designed units that will include, apart from the castle’s 3D symbol and information on this castle also a portrait of a historical person as well as an exhibit that are connected to this particular castle’s history. A large internally lit panel will show the castle’s image of today, whereas from the other side, visible to the visitors on their way back through the space, a historical engraving of the same castle will be shown so as to offer them something new from this perspective.

In between these five castle units the space will be lined with a horizontal element on which exhibition graphics will show the wealth of over one hundred more castles in Slovenia.

At the end of the space and on both sides of the entrance staircase visitors’ interactions will complete the experience.

Exhibition is due to open mid April 2019.
