About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Jakopič Gallery in Ljubljana starts in a basement set over the remains of Roman Emona, then turns to the painter whose name is on the door. It follows Rihard Jakopič, a Slovene Impressionist, and the exhibition hall he fought to build in Tivoli Park in the early nineteen hundreds. Best heard standing among the photographs, near the old stones.
