Exhibitions
Be Who You are and Keep to it - a
retrospective exhibition by Karel
Zelenko
14 Jun - 25 Sep, International Centre of
Graphic Arts
The exhibition features more than
100 art prints as well as paintings,
illustrations and ceramics by the notable
Slovenian artist Karel Zelenko. Born in
1925, Zelenko is one of the last living
artists of his generation, who has been
working as a freelance artist consistently
throughout his lifetime.
His artistic vision has never conformed
to current events and changes in art at
home or abroad, remaining faithful to
his authentic artistic themes and visual
language to this very day. He remains
surrounded by his world of figure and
landscape, which he still uses to fulfil his
artistic mission today.
Open: 10:00 - 18:00. Closed: Mondays
Save the Bees
21 May - 25 Sep, Ljubljana Castle
The Save the Bees exhibition explores
the rich tradition of beekeeping in
Slovenian-inhabited lands and examines
the importance of bees for ensuring the
Earth’s biodiversity.
Held during Ljubljana’s year as
the European Green Capital, the
exhibition presents beekeeping as a
traditional activity related in many
ways to the Slovenian way of life.
Slovenian beekeepers are credited with
domesticating the indigenous Carniolan
honey bee, which is now the second most
widespread bee subspecies in the world.
Bee products such as honey, beeswax,
royal jelly, bee pollen, propolis, and
bee venom play an important role
in traditional Slovenian cuisine and
handicrafts, but they are also used in
modern medicine. In the process of
conserving bees, Slovenia, due to its
biodiversity and high level of public
awareness of the issue, continues
to be a ‘green oasis’ for bees and is
internationally renowned as a country
of excellent beekeepers. The exhibition
also presents Slovenia’s rich cultural and
artistic heritage related to beekeeping.
Open: 9:00-20:00 daily.

Permanent exhibition at the National Gallery
Zoran Mušič, the best known 20th

and a man with more than one
homeland, spent most of his life
between Venice and Paris. He
mostly painted landscapes, still
lifes, portraits, Dalmatian donkeys
and horses, trees, views of Venice,
double portraits with his wife
Ida, and poignant self-portraits
depicting him as an old man. His
visual motifs were always related
to the Slovenian region of Kras and
its typical scenes. He became world
famous with his series of paintings
We Are Not the Last, in which he
relived the scenes he experienced
in the Dachau concentration camp.
Ljubljana’s National Gallery displays
