About this audio guide
This guide to Miklošičeva cesta in Ljubljana stops at number eight, the Cooperative Business Bank, and at the couple behind it: the architect Ivan Vurnik and the Vienna-born painter Helena Vurnik. It follows how a flag, a folk-embroidery flower and a young country's hopes were turned into paint and glass in the early nineteen twenties. Stand across the street from number eight, where you can take in the whole painted front at once.
