About this audio guide
This guide to the National Gallery of Slovenia in Ljubljana follows one painter, Ivan Grohar, from an orphaned boyhood in a mountain village to the art society that trusted him with a place on its committee at the turn of the twentieth century. It touches on political rivalries among Slovene artists, a studio in Vienna, and the small valley town where he worked. Start it with a five-cent coin in your hand.
