About this audio guide
This guide to the Ljubljana City Museum stays with one object: a cracked wooden wheel pulled from the Ljubljana Marshes in two thousand two by archaeologists led by Anton Velušček. It reaches back to the pile-dwelling villages that once stood on the marsh edge, and to the Vienna lab that dated the wood. Best heard standing right beside the wheel's case, close enough to study its centre.
