About this audio guide
This guide to the Slovene Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana reads the building itself: a Habsburg infantry barracks from the eighteen-eighties that later housed the Yugoslav army. It follows a museum founded in nineteen twenty-three and its long search for rooms of its own. Stand facing the courtyard facade, where old brick meets a glass and stone skin.
